We offer you simple and appealing options that let you publish your text in a style and format that most effectively communicate with your students. Best of all, we let you leverage your own school and course branding —not ours— to build a deeper connection between your students and your program.

You determine the content for the course, providing students with exactly what they need to succeed. You can take out the extra coverage you normally skip or replace chapters with coverage that better matches your approach , supplement the text with additional readings, cases, or exercises, and include your own material to create a complete and efficient course resource.

"I created a text that is mostly my own work with lots of citations, including some for which Cengage secured copyright permission. It allows me to focus on the material I think is the most important. It provides me with an opportunity to 'test drive' my material with my students. It makes them feel more involved in the course, part of the creation of something exciting and interesting. It saves the students money and allows them to have everything they need in one convenient text."

"We customized the textbook for our French first year program. Normally there is a textbook, a separate workbook/lab manual, and we also give out many supplementary handouts. For the customized project, we have the textbook (minus the last two chapters which we don't cover) and the workbook and the handouts all together in 'one' paperback volume. We have had a very positive experience, patient and helpful personnel, and exactly what we needed."

"The custom text that I created is for a 4-fields (cultural, linguistic, archaeology, bioanthropology) Intro to Anthropology course. I put together a custom book using individual chapters from several Cengage texts that far better met my need. I no longer had to assign 'other readings' to cover topics and no longer had to make corrections to outdated information. I am able to more fully integrate the four fields of my discipline in meaningful ways because I determine the order of topics in the text."
