Packt launches new website for authors.

Packt is delighted to announce the launch of our Packt Author Website. Available at http://authors.packtpub.com, this new website is designed to be a one-stop resource for potential authors, covering all aspects of developing a book title – from the initial idea, right through to the editorial and publication processes that drive a book to market.

Packt Publishing is an IT publishing company that focuses on producing cutting-edge books for communities of Developers, Administrators, and Newbies alike. We develop books and publications that share the experiences of IT professionals in adapting and customizing today's systems, applications, and frameworks. Established in 2004, the company has published more than 230 titles.

The author website contains information on submitting title ideas, understanding the writing process, how our editorial team operates, and all Packt's latest news. There are articles on topics such as Why You Might Want to Write a Book, and Our History with Open Source. With regular updates from Authors, Packt Editors and the Marketing team, the site will develop into an invaluable resource for people who want to know more about writing for Packt, and how to make it happen.
