Default Re: Alan Schoonmaker\'s Opinion For My Next Book

Dr. Schoonmaker's views on ALGEBRA FOR TEN YEAR OLDS is flawed. He is assuming the only way the book would be published is if it were published, marketed and distributed by 2+2 - which IMHO would be a huge mistake. You need to find a partner publisher which specializes in the education market. A publisher partner like Kaplan might love your concept, they specialize in breaking down education barriers.

But keep in mind that your reputation for dating a 16 year old (even if you didn't know) won't exactly help find a partner publisher. I think it would have been better keeping that story under wraps if your intention is to market this book to teens. Perhaps a better solution is to market the book for adults who have forgotten rudimentary algebra?
