William ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mary Nadar <ma...@packtpub.com> Date: Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 1:23 AM Subject: William, Write a "Sagemath" Book for Packt Publishing! To: wst...@gmail.com Hi William, I am an author recruiter at Packt Publishing (www.packtpub.com). We publish computer-related books on a wide variety of IT topics. We are planning to publish a new book on Sagemath. While trying to look out for potential authors to write this book, I came across one of your blog and website which shows your expertise in Sagemath. This gives me an impression that you could be a potential author for this book. Details of the Book: Title: Sagemath Beginners Guide It is planned to be a 300 page book targeted at Scientists, Mathematicians and Engineers who want a practical introduction to Sage. Prerequisite for readers: No knowledge of Sage is expected, basic knowledge of other programming languages will be an advantage. To give you an idea about the way things works at Packt: - The editorial team at Packt works with the author through out the project. - We pay a royalty of 16% and an advance against it. - The marketing team at Packt ensures that the book is well promoted. - In its ongoing commitment to OpenSource, Packt donates a percentage of revenue generated by the book to the OpenSource project on which it is based. We have donated more than 150 000 dollars to various OpenSource projects since inception in 2004. Could you please let me know if you find it interesting to write this book?
