Write and publish your textbook with Springer Nature

Share your knowledge with the next generation

Important textbooks can have career-lasting impacts on the students who learn from them — and many researchers still even have textbooks that they refer to repeatedly throughout their careers.

But before your textbook can become one of those, you need to know what goes into a textbook; what makes for a good textbook; and how yours would benefit from publishing it with a Springer Nature imprint.

Reasons to publish a textbook

Impact on your field 

Your textbook can have a substantial impact on your field by providing a comprehensive and authoritative resource that students, practitioners, and even researchers can use to get up to speed on your specialty. By writing a textbook, you contribute to the advancement of knowledge in your discipline and help shape the next generation of researchers (and teachers). 

Professional development 

Publishing a textbook can be a significant achievement that can enhance your professional reputation and open up new opportunities for collaboration, speaking engagements, and other forms of recognition.
