Another amazing principle of our organization is commitment to supporting education and scholarship
believing they are intrinsically good things creating healthy minds and healthy cultures
and because of that orientation, we've been able not just to publish textbooks but innovative, interesting
textbooks that retain the author voice and ensure that what the student is getting is an education,
engaging them with a need to think critically for themselves to turn the information into knowledge
Without authors, SAGE ceases to exist.
The authors produce the content. We can help them, we work with them to create it, it is a partnership.
The authors care passionately about their books, the way a mother would care about her newborn baby
and so it's really important that our role be not only professional and effective
but also caring and passionate about the work in the way that the author is.
An author comes to us with something that often is a big chunk of their life.
They're coming with this thing that is very fragile and they are very worried about and they have spent
years working on it. They want to know that we will be there for them and
we will work in partnership with them for a long time,
that their interests and our interests coincide.
