Dear Colleagues,
Erin Buttars, CEO of Book Educator (
erin@bookeducator.com), has asked me to send an email to see if anyone is interested in authoring an introductory to Human Resource Management textbook. Book Educator (
www.BookEducator.com) would be willing to partner with anyone who is currently writing a textbook, anyone who is willing to write a book within the next year, or someone who has an older book that they would be willing to significantly revise for current use. It is critical that the book be well-written and that the text incorporates the latest theory both from the Academy and Industry. By partnering with Book Educator authors receive a 25% royalty rate (compared with the traditional 5% - 15%).
Book Educator's publishing model is somewhat new as they use the latest technology to bring the textbook to the student through computers, I-phones, tablets - basically any electronic devise. Instructors who adopt the textbook can choose from two options: 1) Allow students access to the book for free, or 2) Require students to buy a $20 per-student upgrade service that allows for automatic grading, highlighting features, and a number of other enhancements. In addition to royalties from the upgrade service, authors also receive royalties from content specific advertisements.
Book Educator recently released it's first book and had adoptions in the United States, Canada, Greece, Israel, Spain, Germany, and Brazil. You can see this free, online
Introductory to Organizational Behavior textbook at

Thank you,
Chad
