Writing and publishing book

Abstract

Writing and publishing book has become a strong intention of every educator. The published book is not only valuable for promotion and selfactualization but also for developing authority and public appreciation. The fact, many educators want to write books but they never start writing. Some have started writing books but they have never completed them. Only a few who have completed writing books have courage to send them to publishers. To start writing books, educators need to be engaged in real activities that involve them to decide on marketable book title, to arrange table of contents, to develop chapter by chapter, to write citations and references, to avoid plagiarism, and to complete the whole parts of the book. It is important that author knows the publisher such as the reputation, core products, and contract system of publishers which can indicate the credibility and trustworthiness of the cooperation with the author prior to sending his manuscript.
