Publishing Opportunity with Wiley

You'll be sure to reach a range of knowledgeable engineers here. For additional author resources, you might want to try The Editorial Freelancers Association, where you can submit a job listing at no cost or search their database for a writer meeting your requirements.

Another resource would be the Council of Science Editors.

You might also want to reach out to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the National Society of Professional Engineers.

True.

I'm sure it was a bunch of people with doctorates that sent the mars polar explorer to it's doom. If it had been experienced engineers, not just paper holders, desiging the mission they would have figured out one has to convert KG to LBS.

Why do we continue to re-invent the wheel? There are hundreds of good texts and reference books for electrical engineering. As far as I know, Ohm's Law is still true. Ditto for Mr. Kirchoff's laws too. If you intend to write texts on the latest developments in the applications of these fundamental laws then that would be another thing. To require a "union card" as the price of admission of authorship certainly limits your potential field. Clarity of thought and writing is not the exclusive province of those who chose to take their academic career to its pinnacle. In fact, I think I would want something explained by someone who had more difficult time with understanding it. They know what it is like to struggle. In my years in school, I have seen (and paid for $$$) my share of poorly written texts written from high towers by authors who by virtue of their own gifts cannot connect with their intended audience. My two cents worth.

Or even better than someone who barely understands the concepts themselves and struggles with them, might be someone who doesn't understand them at all. I am glad to see there are still some people who are moreinterested in hearing science and engineering conveyed through someone like a George Bush, than a Stephen Hawking type person. this helps us keep the snake oil sales businesses and online popups going so some people who made a few minor mistakes in their first 25 years of life, you know prison, drug addictions, laziness, etc.. can still earn a good living through there sociopathy rather than depending on intellectual skills.
