A readable, concise guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: Writing Successful Textbooks (Writing Handbooks) (Paperback)
A readable concise guide for assembling a textbook from an active Commissioning Editor, Writing Successful Textbooks is the most accessible guide I have found to publishing in this field, as well as being relevant to many other forms of publishing.Anthony Haynes has a clear, unfussy writing style and concentrates on the practical aspects of pitching your work in the form most likely to attract an Editor. Common errors and pitfalls are highlighted, as are hints on presentation and structure. There is also an excellent chapter on electronic publishing. In contrast with many other "How to" books the author uses real examples as case studies, which I found particularly useful. Writing Successful textbooks will be a welcome read for anyone seriously intent on publishing successfully in what is a competitive and potentially lucrative market.

Serviceable Guide for Textbook Authors,
By Mary Ellen Lepionka - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Writing Successful Textbooks (Writing Handbooks) (Paperback)
Anthony Haynes' "Writing Successful Textbooks" is a much needed discourse on writing exposition for an audience of learners, especially students enrolled in college courses, from the perspective of an acquisitions editor in textbook publishing. Haynes links his suggestions and cautionary advice to models of learning theory and pedagogical frameworks as well as to best practices and realities in the textbook publishing industry today. This title is a practical, highly readable, serviceable guide for textbook authors.

Great for everyone,
By David Barnes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Writing Successful Textbooks (Writing Handbooks) (Paperback)
Although this focuses on textbook writers, it's also useful for editors, or anybody who needs to structure text so that people learn from it.
