Abstract: You have just written a great textbook that you are certain become very popular. What now? You can always work with a commercial publisher, or you can choose to publish the textbook yourself. If you self-publish, you have decisons to make. Do you plan to have both an online version and a print version? If you have an online version, you will need a website. If you offer a print version, you will need to worry about ISBNs and inventories. If you offer both a web version and a print version, what is the best way to keep both versions in sync? Will your book be accessible to users who might need a screen reader, a braille version, etc. Do you make your book open-source or do you intend to earn royalties on your work? What are the options for open source? If you plan to charge, how do you put your online textbook behind a paywall? We will discuss the choices and options.
