CO-AUTHOR APPLICATION PERIOD ENDS MAY 15,

We
are now seeking co-author
candidates for 101 Things
I Learned in Psychology School,
to be published in 2019 by the Crown
Publishing Group of Penguin Random
House.
101TIL in Psychology School
will be primarily for college
students although, like the rest of
the 101 Things I Learned® series,
its audience will range from general
readers to seasoned professionals.
The co-author selected for this work-for-hire project
will work closely with me to create
and develop 101 lessons and market
the book upon its publication.
Compensation will include a
competitive flat fee, a share of
royalties, and cover credit as the
book’s primary author. Additional
details will be provided to those
responding to this notice.
The ideal co-author
candidate:
• is experienced as both
a practicing psychotherapist and
instructor of psychology
• has knowledge and
interests extending across and
beyond the field of psychology. However,
a unique, even quirky
perspective may serve
this project better than
a neutral, generalized
view.
•
is adept at applying theory to
real-world situations and vice versa
•
prefers heightened, everyday language over
academic
language
•
is
organized, can work collaboratively,
and can meet deadlines
If
you are interested in this
opportunity, please:
• See the 101 Things I
Learned books in person. You can
view several pages from each of the
existing books on this website, but
seeing them in the flesh will help
you grasp their unique sensibility.
They can be found at nearly every
Barnes & Noble, at many
independent bookstores, and in many
libraries.
• Respond with a
statement of interest to matt@101thingsilearned.com.
Your statement doesn't have to be highly polished, but
do provide more than a hastily
written request for me to call you
or check out your resume or website.
Please
note there is no
advantage in replying
to this message
immediately. It
will be most
advantageous
to your
candidacy to
see the books
before
responding. I
will accept responses
for the next two to
three weeks, and will
post notice here before
closing the search.
• A brief resume will be
helpful; a one paragraph,
no-nonsense biography is much
preferred.
I will
provide a detailed FAQ
to serious respondents.
Suitable candidates will
be interviewed by phone.
Thank
you for your interest. I hope to
hear from you!
Sincerely,
Matthew Frederick
Series Creator, Editor, and
Illustrator
