Author FAQS: Post Production

Q. What happens after my book is published?

You will receive your complimentary copy, and your book will be marketed and sold through several channels. We will keep in touch with you regarding possible promotions, future revisions, new book ideas, and book proposal reviews. We value your knowledge and our relationship, so let’s continue to work together!

Q. Do you prepare translations?

We do not have anyone on staff here who can translate your book. However, we do seek translations in various languages for our books, and if the translation rights are sold, you will be compensated per your contract details. The translation is normally sought about two years after your English version is published. If you come across an individual who wants to translate your book, you can let us know. However, what we need is a foreign language publisher that wishes to purchase the rights. Most of the time, the foreign language publisher supplies its own translators as well as production, marketing, and printers. You will receive a copy of the translated edition if contracted and published.

Q. What about revising my book in the future?

Our goal is to continue with our solid reputation of providing our readers with up-to-date and valuable content. Revision cycles for textbooks, handbooks, monographs, and professional books vary, but your acquiring editor will want to discuss how to keep your content fresh, marketable, and available to our readers. When you have ideas for new or revised material for your book, it will be time to open up a dialog.

Q. How can I adopt my own book or another CRC Press book for a course I am teaching?

We will work with you directly on the adoption of your own book or another CRC Press book for your course. We have hundreds of textbooks available for you to choose from. You can request an inspection copy of a book for your course by visiting the book’s landing page on the CRC Press website and clicking on "Request an e-inspection copy." This form is automatically sent to one of our textbook representatives who will acknowledge receipt of your request and contact you prior to issuing your inspection copy.

Q. What if I have questions after publication about royalties, marketing, or sales?

An acquiring editor will always be available to answer your questions and make sure that you are serviced properly and swiftly at any stage of the process.

Q. Are you interested in hearing book ideas from my friends and colleagues?

Yes! There is no greater reward for us at CRC Press. Your recommendation to publish with us would mean a great deal, and we cannot think of a better compliment.

Q. How can I contribute to a CRC Press book series?
