Share a recent accomplishment.

What is your favorite textbook writing tip or strategy?
If the words just aren’t coming to you, put the work aside and go for a walk. Being outdoors clears the mind.
What is your best TAA experience so far?
Discovering a non-fiction publishing company. For over a year I had been trying to secure an agent and/or publishing company for two books that were not textbooks. I discovered McFarland through a TAA blog; they liked my query letter and proposal and were pleased I discovered them through a professional organization. Without TAA I would still be on my quest!
