Thank you for supporting Textbook & Academic Authoring


Your gift to TAA ensures that the association can continue to offer quality educational resources to textbook and academic authors.

Michael Sullivan
"I have been involved with TAA for about 35 years and have watched the organization evolve from a membership of 30 to over 3,000. The importance of TAA to the textbook and academic publishing community is notable. But as a nonprofit, TAA must rely on its membership for support beyond dues if it is to continue its role as the only organization dedicated to textbook and academic authors. I hope my gift to TAA will inspire others to help TAA continue its work on behalf of authors."


- Michael Sullivan, whose $100,000 donation is being used to create an annual lecture at the TAA annual conference and match donations 1:1 until we've reached $50,000 in gifts.
