For Faculty Authors
Write the textbook your students need. Keep the rights. Get paid.
WriteSpan Press partners with faculty to publish their teaching materials as coursewire — digital-first textbooks that live on the web, update in real time, and reach students at the point of need.
We are in conversations with faculty across many disciplines. If publishing a textbook interests you, we want to hear from you.
Why publish with WriteSpan

Current and pedagogical
Update a chapter the week a new study comes out. No waiting years for a new edition. Your textbook stays as current as your teaching.
