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.
