Writing a book doesn’t end with the manuscript!
See Resources and Websites Mentioned in the Webinar. These links offer examples for different kinds of materials and book sites.
1) Authors’ sites-linked from the publisher’s page for the book:
Key questions to discuss with the publisher:
- Will the publisher agree to including a link that takes the viewer away from the publisher’s website?
- Are you committed to creating and maintaining the page? Do you have the technical skills needed to do so?
2) Password-protected resources on the publisher’s site (note that you may not be able to view all materials on these sites):
Key questions to discuss with the publisher:
- Can you as author give input into the site design or format, organization, or presentation of resources?
- Can readers who are not instructors gain access to the site?
3) Companion sites with interactive features on the publisher’s site and third-party applications:
- Doing Research in the Real World
Note: If you create an account in VitalSource, you can request electronic review copies of texts and view interactive features.
Add-on subscription to access technical feature and apps:
4) Special features that won’t work on a page
Key questions to discuss with the publisher:
- What is the author’s role in designing and producing these features?
- Can you as author act as the subject matter expert for technical or media features? If not, do you have final approval?
- If your visuals, diagrams, etc. are being used, can you retain your intellectual property/copyright?
- If a third party or additional subscription is involved, do you receive payment or royalties?
