[AISWorld] Seeking authors for Business Expert Press

[Daniel Power]

Hello fellow AIS members--

I serve as the Information Systems collection editor at Business Expert 
Press (http://www.businessexpertpress.com). We have recently published 
Sue Conger's book Process Mapping and Management in the collection. Last 
fall we published my book Decision Support Basics.

Business Expert Press books are targeted to executives and MBA students. 
Books are in paperback format or as ebooks.  We published our first 
digital library collection of 50 books in July 2010. In addition to 
Information Systems we have books in International Business, Strategic 
Management, Managerial Accounting, Corporate Communications, Financial 
Accounting, Human Resource Management and Organizational Behavior.

If you are writing an applied book targeted to executives in the field 
of Information Systems, we are interested in hearing from you. I'll work 
with you to focus the work in a concise and applied direction.

Please note: Because we are not a journal or textbook publisher, we will 
not ask you to remove all opinion from your work. We do need you to 
produce academically reliable, instruction-oriented content that 
includes your insight and opinion. The target length of your book should 
be 32,000 to 70,000 words.

Book Proposal Requirements

1) Please begin with an abstract and a sampling of key words you

is; who the audience is, why your topic is important and how the reader 
will benefit (think back cover marketing copy). This should not exceed 
half a page.

2) Prepare a page or less on your unique preparation to author on this 
topic. Specifically, highlight key accomplishments in your academic and 
professional career that qualify you as an expert authority on this subject.

3) Please provide a prospective submission date. Keep in mind we 
understand you are busy and prefer a realistic timeline over a rushed 
submission.

4) Provide a proposed table-of-contents with sub-heads down to the third 
level if necessary.

5) Provide an estimate of the number of copies you will use yearly in 
your executive teaching and/or consulting practice.
