 Eruditions Publishing is looking for potential authors

image gifEruditions Publishing, a new technology publisher, is seeking new and established authors with quality manuscripts (or good ideas). Eruditions publishes higher level tertiary(college) textbooks, scholarly works and some general trade books. (If you have 400+ students p.a., we may be able to help you create a textbook.) If you are writing a textbook, have a set of good lecture notes, or if you simply have an interest or intention to write a book, why not talk about it with us? We will, at the very least, offer you advice on how to proceed, whether or not you publish with us.

 Copyright, permissions and publishing contracts?

These issues are covered by our author contract which is similar to most publishers' contracts. However, as an Eruditions' author you retain copyright, granting the publisher an exclusive licence. In relation to permissions, as with all commercial publishing, all works for publication must be copyright cleared. We welcome discussion of any copyright matter, or any concerns you may have relating to contracts, or other matters.

 In What Form does Eruditions want Manuscripts?

New technology uses digital (disk) manuscripts, saved in files from everyday computer application packages, whether word processing (WORD, WORD PERFECT etc), spreadsheets, graphics packages or desktop publishing packages. Eruditions staff will be happy to give guidance on preparing disk manuscripts which will speed production. Authors with material written on word processing packages do not need to ‘desktop publish’ their own manuscripts. Eruditions operates in a PC environment.

 What Involvement Do Authors have in Production?

Eruditons has all the advantages of a small personal organisation, with the experienced staff of a large organisation. Authors receive guidance and advice from the start. Guidance as to structuring their work, preparing files, and adding professional touches. Authors receive a proof of their book, and are consulted at key points regarding issues of layout and design. All Eruditions books promote their authors with back cover photographs and brief biographies. These details are also made available on our internet site.
 
 

image gifCan Eruditions provide marketing and distribution?

Eruditions has some of the most experienced marketing staff in the publishing industry. Not only does Eruditions offer direct personal contact marketing and promotion throughout Australia and internationally, it has good working relationships with campus booksellers, library suppliers and (where appropriate) the rights buyers of major international publishers. You will be well represented by Eruditions Publishing to your book's market.

Whereas for some authors, major publishing companies are the alternative to Eruditions, to others the only real alternative is their campus print room. Certainly some tertiary institutions can provide printing services. But no tertiary institution can provide a publisher’s expertise in book production, book-trade relationships, marketing and distribution. Your book should look like a book, sell beyond your own campus and be in bookshops when required. These matters are important and Eruditions has long standing expertise in these areas.
