  Why publish with us?

Addison-Wesley and Benjamin Cummings (AW & BC) are part of the largest global educational publisher, developing and selling textbooks, multimedia and learning programs in major academic disciplines to the higher education, professional, and English language teaching markets throughout the world.

AW & BC offer the benefits of both a small publishing house and a global publisher, and those benefits are clear to those who publish with us. Behind us is our large parent company, Pearson Education, whose resources guarantee strong development support for every book and the experience of educational publishing's largest international sales force. On a day-to-day basis, however, we approach publishing as small imprints, which allows us to pay close attention to each individual author and project.

Market Leadership
AW & BC publish the market-leading titles in Biology, Computing, Economics, Human Anatomy & Physiology, Physics, Mathematics, Microbiology, and Statistics. We take full advantage of our editorial expertise and unsurpassed market awareness to launch both successful first editions and innovative revisions.

Focus
Our focus in relatively few disciplines allows us to know our customers well. We spend significant time on market development and each product team includes dedicated experts who research the market to provide editors with valuable feedback throughout the publishing process. This early collaboration with the market ensures a customer-oriented development process and paves the way for success.

Growth
We publish in disciplines that are experiencing immense growth in research, new knowledge, discoveries, and enrollments. We are committed to maintaining a steady growth pattern by publishing the work of talented authors in these markets.

Innovation
AW & BC are innovators in both pedagogy and technology. Our ongoing investment in technology means that we are creating text and media products that lead students on new paths to understanding.

Service
Service to our customers has always been an important part of our success. AW & BC offer one of the largest and highly trained sales forces in college publishing. Each sales representative receives the full support of our product experts, technology specialists, discipline marketing managers, and publishing teams throughout the world. Given our size and reach, AW & BC are able to reach out and service your book to virtually all potential customers; and the closer we get to our customers, the better our publishing becomes.

Our commitment to our disciplines includes hosting International Conference on Technology in Collegiate Mathematics, Strategies for Success events, Experience Math Workshops, and offering annual scholarships in math and science.

Partnership
Our partnerships with schools such as California State University and the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and with innovative companies such as adam.com®, result in breakthrough products that support AW & BC titles and raise the bar on educational resources for students and teachers.
