Publishing

We publish computer books for professionals--programmers, system administrators, designers, architects, managers and others. We think of our authors as the most valuable part of our business. We respect our readers and consider their interests and preferences every working day. Manning is a small, personal, old-world publisher where an author's opinion is sought and a reader's message is answered. Manning's focus is on computing titles at professional levels. We care about the quality of our books. We work with our authors to coax out of them the best writing they can produce. We consult with technical experts on book proposals and manuscripts, and we may use as many as two dozen reviewers in various stages of preparing a manuscript. The abilities of each author are nurtured to encourage him or her to write a first-rate book. Our books are designed without gimmicks. Their main goal is elegance and readability--we feel the two are often the same. Many of our books come with online reader support: authors answer the questions of their readers in our Web-based liveBook Discussion Forum: http://mng.bz/YP67
