Why Write with The Pragmatic Programmers?

Benefit from Our Experience and Expertise

You’ve probably heard of the book that started it all, The Pragmatic Programmer by Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt.

You may have read some of our other books or listened to our audiobooks by developers, for developers. We also collaborate with Educative, Humble Bundle, DevTalk, and other partners to help you get your message out across an extensive range of formats.

Once you contact us, our author relations team will get to work helping you to develop your idea and identify the best uses for your content. Then, they’ll guide you through our proposal process, where you’ll receive input and feedback from a panel of industry experts that span the globe.

When it comes time to start writing, you’ll be paired with your own personal development editor from day one.

Our editors are highly-trained, industry experts who can help you with every part of the publishing process — from your first draft all the way through to your first sale.
