You might find an editor who works for a textbook publisher, an independent editor, or a colleague who works in a similar subject matter. But you need to have at least one other pair of eyes on your work. The editor will be able to help you find the best way to organize and clarify your content. She will also be able to assist in sentence-level improvements in grammar and word choice. When publishing a textbook you can either work with a traditional textbook press or you can self-publish. Traditional presses for textbooks include Pearson, McGraw-Hill, Cengage, W.W. Norton & Co., etc. If you work with one of these publishers, you will generally receive around 10% of the royalties for each book sold. Look up the "Contact" information on the publisher's web site. They will generally have guidelines for how to submit a book proposal or get in touch with an editor. In order to get approved by a traditional press, you will need to provide the publisher with a book proposal. The book proposal will generally provide the title of the book and a 1-2 paragraph summary of each chapter. Make sure you clearly explain the content of your book and why it will be important for your target audience of students. Make sure the book "fits" the publisher's list of books. Do they sell other books similar to yours? If they do, this is a positive sign because they won't have to spend extra money marketing a different item on their publishing list. With traditional presses, you will also have to sell the copyright of your work to the publisher; you will no longer have rights over the material once you sign a contract with them. . Because publishing with traditional presses can sometimes be a competitive process, more authors have turned to self-publishing -- often with more profitable results. Amazon.com recently entered the textbook publishing game. If authors sell their self-published textbook through Amazon for $9.99 or less, then the author will receive 70% of the royalties. This is a significantly higher rate than the 10% that is often offered by traditional presses. You could also make your textbook available for purchase through iBooks' textbook platform or through a personal web site. With self-publishing, you often don't have to put together a book proposal and you can generally retain your rights to the material. However, it is harder to spread the word about your textbook to schools and universities.

When you've dated duds in the past, you probably found yourself compromising for what you'd accept from them. At first, it seems perfectly fine to overlook certain things they lacked, or make excuses for lackluster behavior. Stop doing this! If you want a better man, stop making excuses for them. Understand and remember what you really, truly, deeply want, and don't accept less. Note that this doesn't mean you should reject any man who isn't a billionaire with a supermodel face and an 8 pack. It means that you have every right to hold out for a man with a stable job, an active lifestyle, a generous spirit, and a sense of humor. It's OK to be picky. There are millions of men in this world, and you can and will find someone who has everything you're looking for, if they are realistic expectations. If you want a man who spends his time volunteering, you need to get involved with volunteering. If you really want a guy who shares your faith, you need to be attending religious or spiritual events. While falling in love can feel like magic, use logic to set yourself up to find it. Increase your odds of finding a great man by spending time where they do. If you are happily single and satisfied, you don't need a man to complete you. When you don't need a man, you won't settle for just any man who comes along. By staying busy and following your own passions, you'll naturally up your standards. You'll only accept a man into your life that will add to it, not fill some sort of void. Don't be so fiercely independent that you refuse to open yourself up to love. It's important that you can be content and satisfied on your own, but be careful not to completely block yourself off from receiving love.
