title: An approach to publishing an edited book.
abstract: This article outlines the steps taken by the authors to publish a co-edited nursing research book to assist nurses interested in editing a book or writing a book chapter. The authors' experiences are used to help illustrate the preparation and editing of manuscripts. Collaboration among co-editors, chapter authors (contributors), and the staff of the publishing company is vital when publishing an edited book.
