We accept materials in original or photocopied form, although we prefer working with originals as they make better copies. Please include a complete bibliography. (See copyright information.) You may mark pages to be reproduced with Post-It Notes or paper clips.
We can publish original materials for you, including your own books-in-progress, workbooks, lab manuals and syllabi. You may supply these in the form of clean, one-sided copies or in digital format.
