As a freelance writer for college textbook publishers, I definitely care about the financial health of higher education publication industry. If the textbook publishers are doing well, they’ll keep publishing current and new editions and keep hiring me to create supplements and ancillaries.
Here’s the latest data from the Association of American Publishers for June 2010 higher education/college textbook sales:
Higher Education publishing sales increased 35.2 percent for the month ($514.9 million) and increased 27.4 percent for the year.
Excellent news!
I have several writing assignments that I’m either currently working on or will start in the next month or so. Don’t have enough work? Contact editors and let ‘em know your qualifications and availability.
