Write a Book for ASCD

Do you aspire to be a published author? Would you like to share your expertise and ideas with other educators around the world?

You've Come to the Right Place.

ASCD is continually searching for writers with new ideas, fresh voices, and diverse backgrounds.

When educators become authors through ASCD, their knowledge and experience influence a large audience of teachers and administrators. If your book is published, you'll make a contribution to the profession and earn royalty payments as compensation for your work.

What Do the Reviewers Look For?

How Do I Start the Process?

If you would like ASCD to consider publishing a book you have written or plan to write, send us a proposal and two or three sample chapters.

What Happens Next?

Your proposal and sample chapters will be reviewed by our Book Acquisitions Team, which meets at the end of each month. We will also send your review to at least two outside reviewers (educators in the field). The review process takes about two months, and we will inform you of the outcome as soon as possible. Please let us know if another publisher is reviewing your proposal during this interval.

If the reviewers recommend publication, we will send you a draft contract for your review.
