PREFACE

Call for Authors
Apress is looking for authors with technical expertise and the ability to explain complicated concepts
clearly. We want authors who are passionate, innovative, and original. Do you have something you’d like
to say back to the industry? We’d love to hear from you.
Apress doesn't work quite the same as more traditional computer book publishers do. For
example, the first question many authors ask a potential publisher is “What are you looking for?” At
Apress, we ask authors these questions instead: “What are you an expert on? What do you have real-world
experience in? What are you passionate about?”
In short, we're more interested in your ideas, expertise, and passions than we are in having you
fill in some hole in our list. If you want to write about XML, that's possible, but we don't want you to write
about XML just because we want you to, nor do we want you to write yet another XML book that's just like
the dozens of "Learn XML" books that exist in various forms already.
Of course, the Apress editorial board will work with you to help ensure that your book is
marketable and ultimately successful, but the first stage of that process has to be for us to hear about your
ideas–not for you to hear about ours!
 Note If you’re interested in writing a book for Apress, the first step is to submit a proposal. Please see our
standard proposal form on the next pages—this form gives us the answers to all of the questions we need to
evaluate any new book project.
