CIPD Publishing is part of CIPD Enterprises Ltd, the commercial wing of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). With over 116,500 members, the CIPD is the market-leading organisation in Europe for dealing with the management and development of people. If you're writing in the people management and development fields, you could hardly find a more effective platform for your ideas.
Why publish with CIPD?
Our authors benefit significantly from the expertise and friendliness of our team, who have between them many years' experience in the publishing industry.
Because we're a small team, it's easy for us all to keep in touch with our authors, be flexible in handling their requirements and be quick in responding to their queries. First-time authors in particular often feel unsure about what they should be doing or what we expect of them, but do not worry: there's always someone on hand to offer advice and explain any stage of the process.
We are also able to get through the work quickly: turn-around from delivery of the finalised typescript to the finished product is on average 12 weeks - so you shouldn't have to wait long to see the fruit of your labours!
Author guidelines
We have produced a set of guidelines to help you develop your ideas. These outline the key areas for you to consider and provide a basic structure for your proposal. We will then use this proposal as the basis for considering your publishing idea - therefore the more detail you can give us at this stage the better.
