For Authors

Working Together to Make Better Textbooks

Eleven Learning is about to launch a community for authors, educators, and textbook professionals. Want an invitation to the private beta? Contact us now.

Get Support and Guidance

You’ll receive unbiased advice directly from peers and established authors. You’ll learn what works—and what doesn’t—when writing a textbook. As a community member, you can post questions, get answers, and share your expertise. The forums are private: only verified users can participate.

Collect Feedback

Coming soon: Eleven Learning’s crowdsourced commenting tools will enable you to upload your manuscript and invite reviewers to comment and suggest improvements. The feedback comes directly from those whose opinions matter most: potential adopters of your book.

Market and Monetize Your Work

In the upcoming months, Eleven Learning will introduce social networking tools to help you spread the word about your textbook. Additionally, we’ll launch an online marketplace so authors can publish their textbooks with us. (Both print and online editions will be available.)

Change Academic Publishing

There are too many giant “me too” textbooks on the market. We want you to write the book you want to write. Eleven Learning will help you collaborate with potential adopters to get your book ready for publication. Together we can:
  • Publish books across more disciplines, topics, and levels than the big publishers do
  • Deliver a better product at a better price
