20 biggest textbook publishing companies shaping the future of education.

You already know what happens to textbooks after we use them, as we’ve already written about reselling , donating, or recycling . However, today, we are excited to shift the conversation to the origins of books!

By “origins,” we are not referring to the warehouses where the books are printed. Instead, we are talking about the publishers who produce and distribute books and information.

According to the 2012 study A Research Study on Textbook Recycling in America , “ There are currently 33 textbook publishers in the U.S., and 310 “General Education” publishers. Combined, they produce over 4.3 billion books annually, and are also responsible for disposing of obsolete book inventories over which they have control. ” You may be surprised by this large number. Among hundreds of companies, five stand out in the publishing industry as powerhouses . These top five educational publishers are:

Cengage Learning
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
McGraw-Hill Education
Pearson Education

You might recall some of the names mentioned here if not all of them. Perhaps you remember seeing them at the book fairs you attended as a child (e.g., Scholastic has been hosting great fairs until this day).

Yet, while the top five publishers are well-known, they only represent a small fraction of the total number of textbook publishers out there. As we’ve already mentioned, there are at least 310 active publishers specializing in General Education. Yet, exploring them all would be quite a challenge. Therefore, we believe it’s best to present this information in a more manageable way and are delighted to introduce you to twenty great publishers from all around the world!

How Are Publishers Impacted by Changes in the Industry?

While publishers make an impact on the industry, the industry is also shifting. Publishers are finding creative ways to hold strong in the book and information industry. As seen above, most textbook companies and publishers have expanded their platforms to include digital publications and tech-based tools to maintain or increase engagement across all users. For professionals and educators, new apps and databases are being developed by publishing companies. Many textbook publishers are increasing their selection of digital book publications for students.

While physical books are still used by the public, publishers are increasingly choosing alternative publishing opportunities. Image by pikisuperstar on Freepik

The demand for lowering education costs is causing the switch from print to digital. Creative solutions like rental and resale companies, as well as price comparison platforms like BookScouter , are also inspiring publishers to be creative on ways to remain in the market. And they have to do it. These massive publication companies are the place of work for thousands and thousands of people and offer writers, educators, scientists, and professionals compensation for their work. They are also responsible for keeping mass information accessible to the public.

We all have reasons to love reading.

Reading opens your mind. Reading Builds Bridges. Reading is a Shared Journey.

In honor of Scholastic's 100th Anniversary, we asked our authors and illustrators to answer the question: What's a reason you love reading? The response is a dazzling collection that gets to the heart of why books matter so much. Whether they are remembering a book that meant the world to them or conjuring the magical way that books took them to worlds far beyond their own, these authors show us with exuberance, insight, and humor how the joys of reading are often inseparable from the joys of life itself.

How to get started writing and publishing a teaching book

By Angela Watson

Founder and Writer

Do you want to publish an education book or publish a book for teachers? Need tips for writing and publishing education books? On this page, you’ll find information about how I got started writing and publishing books for teachers, and learn how you can write teacher books, too.

How to get started writing and publishing a teaching book

Who Am I to Give Advice?

I’m far from an expert on the subject of publishing books, but I’ve done it successfully three times and I’m honest about the process, so I tend to get a LOT of emails asking for advice. There are many ways to get your book published and make money selling books for teachers, and I’m happy to share what’s worked for me. I can’t guarantee that I’ve done things the “right way,” but I’m enjoying writing books and I’ve been making steady money doing so since 2008. Hopefully when you read my advice, you’ll find some ideas that resonate and will work for you, too.

Video: Advice for Publishing a Book for Educators

Dr. Will Deyamport III interviewed me about educational publishing. In the video below, you’ll hear me speak about:

How I got the ideas for my books and started publishing
Balancing full-time teaching with book writing
What motivates me to write and how I use writing to improve education
The decision between traditional and self-publishing
eBook vs. print copy sales
How to leverage book sales and consulting opportunities
How my writing and creative process works
My advice for those who want to write and publish a book
The importance of promoting your book on social media

Who Said Anything About Publishing? Get Writing!

First things first: most people who worry about how to publish and sell their book haven’t even written the book yet . In fact, I’d say 95% of the people who email me asking for help are still stuck in the “I have a great idea for a book” phrase. My advice is always the same: write the book before you worry about anything else . There are an untold number of half-finished manuscripts languishing in desk drawers. Until you’ve got a book that is well-written (and well-edited), everything else is a moot point.

If you go the traditional publishing route, chances are good that a publisher is going to want to see a complete manuscript before deciding whether or not to publish it. Sure, established authors can just submit proposals, but if you’re an unknown, the publisher will probably not pay you much attention without a finished manuscript. At the very least, they’re going to want the table of contents and some sample chapters.

Having a few chapters done is not enough. How will you know what direction your book will ultimately take? Maybe the first few chapters will end up being redundant, or need to be placed in a different order. And it’s very likely that they won’t be your best work if you haven’t seen how they fit within the larger context of what you’re trying to say. You will probably want to change the title, subtitle, description, etc. before the book is done. So why try to market something that is incomplete and going to change?

If you decide to self-publish, it’s even more important to have a finished product because self-publishing is a much quicker process. You can have a stack of copies in your possession within days of sending the book to the printer, and Amazon will often list it within a week or two. All the self-publishing routes (Lulu, Smashwords, etc.) have similar requirements for formatting, etc., so you really don’t need to select your self-publishing option until the book is basically done.

So, in case I haven’t been clear: Stay focused on writing your book. That’s the hardest part, and once you’ve got that done, there will be tons of options open to you. The publishing industry is evolving so quickly that it’s becoming easier to publish a book with every year that passes, so there is absolutely no reason to stress out about how to publish a book that you haven’t even written yet.

How Do You Know What to Write?

I think everyone has a book inside them. And every teacher I know has a teaching idea or perspective that deserves to be shared with the world. Don’t doubt yourself! Write what’s on your heart. Write what has to be written. Write the things that you will lay in bed at night thinking about if you don’t get them out on the page. Don’t worry about how it will be received yet; that part comes during for the editing process. Right now? Write.

Editing Your Manuscript

You will need to have your book professionally edited before you submit it to a publisher or try to self-publish it. Remember, you want your very best work to be shown to the world. It’s also helpful to have the perspective of an outside party who’s not personally invested in your book. It’s better to get brutal honesty from your editor than from Amazon reviewers after the book is published. (Ouch.)

Okay, Fine, Now Let’s Talk About Publishing

There are a lot of paths you can take to get your book into the hands of readers. The only one I would NOT recommend is using a vanity press, which is a company you pay to publish your book. That’s just not necessary in 2014.

One good option is to submit your book to some publishing houses in hopes of getting published. I’ve never gone that route as I wanted to have complete editorial control over my books and also did not want to share royalties with a publishing company. I hear that trying to get your book accepted in traditional publishing can be a lengthy, frustrating process, although it’s not nearly as painful for education books and I know quite a few teachers who have had their books published that way. There are a number of reputable education publishers who accept titles from new authors (including classroom teachers), so if you do your research, you may find something that works for you. You might want to check out Scholastic, Evan-Moor, Jossey-Bass, ASCD, Kagan, Eye on Education, etc. Although I do have connections with people at each of these publishing houses, I cannot recommend your book to any of them. I’m sorry!

Be sure to ask lots of questions about the royalty rate you will receive. There are some publishers (none that are listed above) that will pay teachers a very small flat rate for their book and then the company owns the content and never pays out another dime. You’d do far better selling your book as a PDF on TeachersPayTeachers or TeachersNotebook than taking a flat rate from a big publishing house. Don’t do it! You deserve to earn profits from your book every time it sells–and books in the education genre should continue to sell well for many years.

Another path is to start your own publishing company. This is what I chose to do. I started my own business for both publishing and consulting services and called it Due Season Press and Educational Services . I established a PO Box and DBA, bought a block of ISBNs, and set up an account with Lightning Source (which does Print-On-Demand printing and handles all book distribution.) This was a relatively simple process that gives me full control over my books and cuts out the middle man: only Lightning Source and either Amazon or PayPal take a cut from my book sales. The other advantage is that I can do educational consulting and professional development services based on my books , all under one company that I own personally.

A third option–and probably the easiest, most common one–is to self-publish using Smashwords, Lulu, or another self-publishing service. Like starting your own publishing company, self-publishing also cuts out the middle man and maximizes your control and royalties. I don’t know a lot about the companies that offer these services, although I know many authors who have used Lulu and Smashwords, and most are pretty satisfied.

If you’re thinking about self-publishing, I highly recommend the book Self-Printed: The Sane Person’s Guide to Self-Publishing by Catherine Ryan Howard. Catherine kindly sent me a review copy of the Kindle version and I was thrilled to see that she spells out exactly what to do if you want to self-publish your book (or more accurately, self-print: when you read the book, you’ll understand the difference). Her blog Catherine, Caffeinated is also extremely helpful and has all kinds of great tips for anyone wanting to self-publish a book. Both the book and the blog provide a lot of information about promoting and marketing your books.

What About eBooks?

Formatting your book for mobile readers is not optional. You need to do it, and it’s a terrific way to make more money from your books because the delivery cost is so much lower than with print copies. By the end of 2009, I was selling more eBooks than hard copies, and each year since then, the ratio of eBook sales to hard copy sales has increased dramatically.

I use a company called eBook Architects to format my books for Kindle (MOBI) and ePUB, although you can do it yourself (and the book Self-Printed that I recommend above will walk you through you through the steps.) I like eBook Architects because I know that the formatting has been correctly completed for every eReader device and there is a lifetime guarantee on their work, so if the formatting requirements change, they’ll fix the books.

Getting the Word Out About Your Books

Most writers (myself included) HATE having to promote and market their books. However, it’s a little known fact outside the publishing world that even if you have a big publishing house behind you, most of the promotion burden still falls on the author. Publishers rely heavily on authors to blog about their books, share them on social media, promote their book tours, etc. It’s a simple fact: no one cares about your book more than you, so you’ll need to be the one to help spread the word.

I’m assuming as you read this that your book is neither written nor published yet, which is actually good in terms of promotion. That gives you time to build up a platform for yourself and connect with others through a website, blog, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc. That’s the subject of another article (I touch on it briefly on the Becoming and Educational Consultant page) but the number one thing to remember is this: share high quality content and do it because you enjoy doing so.

If you don’t give away good content on your website/blog, no one will be interested in reading your book. Potential readers need to know what you’re all about and how you write in order to be assured that the book will be valuable to them. Find a way to blog that is enjoyable to you: if it’s not, then you’ll feel like your book is a burden and you’ll get frustrated with the fact that no one is reading it.

Where Should I Sell My Books?

99% of my book sales are made online, either through my website or through Amazon. School systems and universities also buy my books, but they find me online, contact me online, and complete the transaction online. Book stores and teacher supply stores never factor into the equation.

There are literally millions of new books being published, and brick and mortar bookstores simply can’t stock them all. And in 2012, you really don’t NEED a book store to carry your book. Because they have the widest selection of titles and their prices are rock bottom, Amazon has the lion’s share of book sales (and it’s increasing every year). Use that to your advantage.

You may find that it’s worthwhile to visit teacher supply stores in your area to try to get them to stock your book, but it wasn’t worth it for me. I was told that my local store orders all its products a year in advance and I’d have to come back in 9 months to even make my pitch. I’m not interested in working within old-school systems like that and didn’t pursue it. That was in 2009, though, and perhaps things have changed. They also might be different in your area.

There are a few in-person opportunities that HAVE been fruitful for me. If you do consulting or professional development, that’s a great opportunity to promote your books and make sales. Education conferences can also serve as networking places and lead to sales. Try pitching to your school district and see if they’re interested in buying copies, as well.

When Do I Get Rich?

Probably never. But the great thing about writing education books is that they have a long shelf life. The hottest novel only makes the New York Times bestseller list for a short time and then it’s forgotten. But a good education reference book can continue to sell very well for a decade or more. I first published The Cornerstone in 2008 and every year it sells more copies than the year before. In fact, this is true of all three of my books: the more people who stumble across my website, the more book sales I get. And with 75% of teachers quitting within the first 5 years, there’s a whole new crop of potential readers coming up all the time. I don’t mean to sound glib about teacher retention, but there’s certainly no shortage of new teachers who are looking for ideas, and as a writer/publisher, this works strongly to your advantage.

Angela Watson

Great post, Angela! When I wrote my book, I submitted a sample of the activities to a bunch of different educational publishing companies. I just sat down with all of my teacher material books and checked the covers. Many of them had a list of where to send manuscripts. You can read more about how my process went at http://www.mrsjoyhall.com/becoming-a-published-author/ . I totally agree with you about self-publishing to keep the rights to the book. It almost felt like I was giving something away. If anyone is thinking about writing a book, I say GO FOR IT! 🙂 Joy from Joy of Teaching

So I retired after 35 years and mainly taught high school sp Ed to voc students. I have written about 30 short stories. Each story has a common 3 part reading response. ie #1 5 sentence chapter summary #2 teacher led creative writing activity #3 3 comprehension questions.

I just want some company to take them on to publish where I receive a royalty. Any ideas where I should go? I live in Canada.

Angela, thanks so much for all of your help. You have become quite the mentor to me without even knowing it! I have two books in the works and cannot wait to set up a time to chat once they’re finished. Thank you again so much for your guidance!

Aw, you’re so welcome, Gretchen! You’re going to love tomorrow’s blog post then–a teacher who published a children’s book is going to share her advice. 🙂

I have written a book about poetry 25% is my original writing and 75% are examples of what 4th and 5th graders have written over the years. Is there an audience for this kind of book? The writing is amazing!

Many thanks,

Mary Groesch

Hi, Mary! There certainly might be an audience for it. My advice is to start building that audience now through a blog and social media…and most importantly, an email list. Focus on sharing great, helpful free content, and then get that book published and into the hands of those who would want to read it!

I found your information very fascinating. I am almost done with a book for teachers or others who was to teach kids how to write poetry. I had a significant stroke, though many people say they can’t tell, in 2011 and ended up retiring early in 2013. I’ve talk in the U.S. for 26 yrs/ and 5 yrs in international school in South America. I was trained by master teachers in progressive approach. I’ve traveled to 36 countries, given writing workshops mainly in foreign countries. I was trained by National Geographic from 1990 until almost 2010. Needless, the say, I have many, many examples of the children/parents given me their consent use their work. How should I go about publishing it?

Hi, Mary! I highly recommend self-publishing. You can upload the PDF directly to CreateSpace.

Hi Angela, I’m no book expert but last year a primary school in Belfast asked me to consult on their music. I wrote a full, detailed scheme of work for the full primary years P1 – P7 and went into the school and taught each class every week. By doing this I had written a practical, exciting music scheme for non-specialists which tied in to the curriculum, taught it to each class for a full year and trained the teachers to teach it themselves in subsequent years. The Headteacher wrote a fabulous recommendation for my work and advised that I publish and sell it to schools. Her teachers are all independently following my scheme now and it works. I have no idea where to even start! Any advice? Christine.

I think the advice here would definitely work for you. You can self-publish for sure.

What do book publishers do?

Sure, a book publisher prints and sells your book. But what they do behind the scenes encompasses much more than that. Publishers handle the entire publishing process for books, including:

Editing the book, i.e. developmental editing, copy editing, and proofreading;
Designing the book, i.e. book cover design and any necessary interior book design;
Promotion and marketing, i.e. writing the book’s blurb, email marketing , setting up media interviews, etc.; and
Production and distribution, i.e. formatting and distributing hardback, paperback, and ebook versions of the book to stores, both online and brick-and-mortar.

Note that the structure of publishing companies may differ, depending on their size. Bigger book publishers may be made up of publishing houses which may, in turn, be made up of imprints — each of which will have its own brand identity in terms of the type of books it publishes.

However, regardless of a publisher’s size, the scope of their work shouldn’t change. Once you sign with a publisher, they will do everything that it takes to bring your book to market.

What are the most prominent book publishing companies?

If we define success by sheer sales volume, then we might point towards the "Big 5" presses and educational publishers (who rake in a LOT of money). Over the past few decades, these giant publishing companies have merged with and acquired most of the mid-sized publishers in the industry. However, a few still remain. Here are today's biggest book publishing companies:

Penguin Random House (Big 5)
Hachette Book Group (Big 5)
HarperCollins (Big 5)
Macmillan Publishers (Big 5)
Simon & Schuster (Big 5)
Scholastic Corporation
Pearson Education
McGraw-Hill Education
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Cengage Learning

Together, these largest publishers dominate the publishing landscape. Countless beloved books come from their imprints, many of which you’ll find in our directory.

The rest of the publishing landscape is largely made up of small publishers, or independent publishers. Most big publishers don’t directly accept unsolicited submissions without a literary agent — but smaller publishers do, making them a realistic and worthwhile route to publication.

I have a long list of publishers. What next?

Congratulations! Now take a moment to thoroughly vet every publisher on your longlist. Scams are a dime a dozen in the publishing industry, and you want to make 100% sure that you’re dealing with a legitimate publishing company. Again, we strongly recommend reading this post and Writer Beware to know what red flags to watch out for.

When you’re confident in all of the publishers on your longlist, it’s time for the most nerve-wracking step: submitting your manuscript to them.

12 Leading Educational Publishers in the PreK-12 School Market

by Sarah Schmidt , on November 5, 2021

Simba Information, a leading authority for market intelligence and forecasts in the media and publishing industry, recently released the report PreK-12 Instructional Materials Industry Competitive Analysis, 2021 , which looks at how publisher strategies are shifting alongside different market environmental factors. The report draws on nationwide research and interviews with education publishing industry executives, analysts, education officials, and school educators.

In the report, Simba Information profiles 12 leading educational publishers that create PreK-12 instructional materials, tools, and services. Read on to learn more about the companies featured in the report.

1. Cambium Learning Group offers digital and blended curriculum, professional learning, and assessment solutions that are designed to drive learning outcomes. Cambium serves 18 million students in 170 countries.

2. Cengage is a global educational technology company that is focused on higher education and workforce training, but the company also serves the school and research markets. A merger with McGraw Hill that was announced in May 2019 was later cancelled.

3. Discovery Education saw itself as well-positioned to support educators as they switched to remote learning in 2020. The company's digital content and professional learning resources reaches 4.5 million students in the U.S. and 45 million in 140 countries.

4. Goodheart-Willcox publishes instructional materials for about 40 subjects in the career and technical education and health education fields. The company targets middle and high schools and postsecondary institutions.

5. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt sold its Books & Media trade publishing unit to Harper Collins Publishers for $349 million in early 2021. The sale allows HMH to develop the digital, more service-oriented future of its K-12 education business.

6. Kahoot! was f ounded in 2013 to create game-based learning platforms. Kahoot! is increasing usage, subscribers and revenue, while launching tools, functionality and content and expanding partnerships and acquisitions.

7. McGraw-Hill Education is one of the largest and long-established educational publishers of K-12 instructional materials. McGraw Hill continues to move into digital delivery with a focus on adaptive learning. McGraw Hill delivers curated content, digital learning tools and platforms to 13,000 prekindergarten through 12th grade school districts.

8. Pearson is a global education company with five divisions: virtual learning, higher education, English language learning, workforce skills, and assessment & qualifications. With the $250 million sale of its U.S. K-12 courseware business to private equity firm Nexus Capital Management in 2019, Pearson exited the U.S. K-12 courseware market.

9. Renaissance is a long-time leader in the education technology market that provides assessment and practice solutions with learning analytics that are used in more than one-third of U.S. schools. The company has been expanding both through acquisition and product development.

10. Savvas Learning Company came into its own as a competitive PreK-12 digital curriculum provider after the business was sold by Pearson to private equity firm Nexus Capital Management in February 2019. Savvas provides solutions aimed at fostering highly personalized learning.

11. Scholastic a publisher and distributor of children’s books. The company provides school book fairs, and its book clubs are marketed to teachers as well as to parents at home. The company’s second entrée into schools is its literacy curriculum offerings, including digital subscriptions and print workbooks.

12. Stride, a leader in providing virtual school options for K-12 students while operating as K12 Inc., rebranded in December 2020 to reflect a new mission to provide learning solutions to all ages with an expanded focus on career learning.
