How to Get Help

Open Education Network's Publishing Cooperative

The Publishing Cooperative (Co-op) is a community of Open Education Network members who are interested or engaged in open textbook publishing. The Co-op’s goal is to provide community, networking, guidance and resources for those who are supporting faculty authors and/or managing publishing programs, and is guided by the Publishing Advisory Group. Whether you’re just getting started or are well underway, the Co-op is here to help.

Tea Time

The Publishing Advisory Group hosts Tea Time, an informal OEN community event for people interested in publishing topics. It’s a monthly conversation with invited guests who share their experience. We also save time for "Tea and Sympathy" when people can get support and feedback from the group about any publishing topic. Tea Time is typically the first Monday of the month at 1pm Central time.
