< back to full article list < back to academic authors article list < back to textbook authors article list Start revisions early Award-winning math author Mike Sulllivan, who has several texts in multiple editions, said the revision process is continuous. Sullivan recommends that authors begin a file of correctable errors as soon as an edition comes out. He also recommended starting another file early for new material for the next edition. Nutrition author Peggy Stanfield said that it should take nine months to a year to do a new edition. Any faster, she said, and you may introduce inadvertantly incorrect information. "Keep in touch with your publisher about when they want a new edition and when to start," said Stanfield. That way, she said, you can be prepared when it comes time for a new edition and it won't come as a surprise.
