Got an Idea for a Book or Video?
As the publisher of Peachpit Press, New Riders, Adobe Press, Apple Pro Training, and other imprints and series for creative people, we are always looking for new authors, teachers, trainers, and innovative ideas, as well as great new projects from our current amazing authors. Who knows? Your idea could become the next bestseller.
Peachpit publishes high-quality, forward-thinking, best-selling books, videos, and apps on the hottest topics in graphic design, digital photography, Web design and development, digital video, the Mac and the Mac OS, and all topics for your digital lifestyle. Just take a look at our Web site to explore the range of subjects on which we publish. Our best-selling series include the Visual QuickStart Guides, From Snapshots to Great Shots, Pocket Guides, Develop and Design, Robin Williams's Non-Designers, Voices That Matter, and more—including best-selling series, like the Classroom in a Book series from Adobe Press, the Apple Pro Training Series from Apple, and The Digital Photography Books from Scott Kelby.
We also like to explore original ideas that fall outside of our existing series, such as Photo Recipes Live, Presentation Zen, 344 Questions, The Brand Gap, Don't Make Me Think, The Hot-Shoe Diaries, Designing with Web Standards, Facebook Me, the Color Correction Handbook, and many more.
Our community of loyal readers includes design professionals, students, teachers, artists, photographers, video and audio editors, Web designers and developers, and small-business owners. They value Peachpit products for their practical and effective instructional approach, beautiful design, richly illustrated spreads, technical accuracy, and attention to detail. Authors value Peachpit's commitment to each project we publish, our deep respect for authors' knowledge and experience, our marketing muscle, and our pledge to treat authors fairly and respectfully.
If you are an experienced writer, a thought leader, or you just know you have a great idea for a Peachpit book, video, or app, we want to hear from you. Please include responses to the following questions in your proposal so we can get a clear idea of your project and determine if it might be a good fit with our publishing program. Short writing samples from other projects are also helpful.
