Thanks so much for visiting!
I’m John Soares, author of Writing College Textbook Supplements: The Definitive Guide to Winning High-Paying Assignments in the College Textbook Publishing Market. I’ve been writing supplements — instructor’s manuals, student study guides, test questions, lecture outlines, etc — since 1992, full-time since 1994.
In this blog I’ll share many of the secrets I’ve learned about creating the highest quality supplements. I’ll also cover important aspects of getting assignments from editors and tell you how to be an efficient and effective writer.
We’ll also examine important trends in the college textbook publishing industry and how they will affect you as a supplements writer and likely also as an instructor, and how they will impact college students.
