All About Agile: The Book (Publisher Wanted)
by Kelly Waters, 17 January 2012 | All About Agile
Hi all. After nearly 5 years of blogging about agile, I have just finished converting my blog posts into a 430-page A5 book.
It’s basically a compilation of everything I’ve written – at least anything of an educational and evergreen nature; edited, sequenced, and in one portable document sometimes known as a book :)
I’m not quite ready to make it available, as I’d like to read it back one more time myself first. But I will be very soon. And when I do, I intend to make it available as an eBook and as a good old-fashioned paper book.
I have the ability to self-publish it. I have done that with my 55 page eBook before, although I didn’t promote it because I felt it wasn’t substantial enough. The only trouble is, using the self-publishing method delivery is either slow or expensive, which isn’t really very good, particularly these days when people generally want a quick fix!
So I’m wondering – are there any publishers out there that would like to turn this blog into print? It’s written, and nearly ready to go. If you’re interested, please contact me by email.
Here are the contents: Book Contents

Write a 10-15 page ebook on a single topic–probably a single chapter from your book. Publish the ebook. Go viral. The publishers will call you. Or bypass the publishing world entirely. Self-published ebooks are doing gangbusters.
Thanks for your comment Steve. The content is available in a slightly more random format right here on my blog, so I don’t know if it would really make any difference publishing a chapter for free in an ebook?
Anyway, you also made me realise I should at least make the contents pages available so people can see how I’ve structured it and what’s inside. Here it is:
