Ideal topics

With your help, we'll publish books that:

  • Help you do your work.
  • Concisely explain your work to colleagues and managers.
  • Get to the point; you can read one on a plane ride.
  • Won't be painful to read; in fact, you might enjoy them.

Our initial focus is on the methods that UX professionals and other designers need to do their jobs. We'll publish books about:

  • User research methods, such as task analysis and contextual inquiry.
  • Methods that help you get a grip on your content, such as content modeling and running content inventories.
  • Methods that help you work more creatively and effectively, such as group brainstorming and communicating designs.
  • Methods for understanding organizations and how they impact design, such as interviewing stakeholders, performing competitive analyses, and negotiating for a design's acceptance.

We also plan to address interesting "vertical" contexts for user experience design, such as specific industries (e.g., UX for government and health care) and audiences (e.g., UX for users who are seniors or children).
