See our guide to writing book proposals on what to do next. We need proposals and authors for all high-level computer books. Well, it's usually a book about programming or fixing programming. Because the more advanced computers get, the more technical knowledge programmers, system administrators, web designers, software engineers, and scientists need. We are also interested in proposals for novice and intermediate-level computer books.
Every book is unique, and every advance and royalty rate is different.
Various factors, including the deep discount rate, revised editions, late penalties, bonuses, and foreign sales, can affect the royalties you receive, so it is important to negotiate your contract carefully. Royalties are paid after the advance is earned back. Then there are revised editions. Computer books have a short shelf life because the technology changes so quickly. If you happen to have written on such a subject, your publisher will no doubt ask you to revise the book.
