We would be lying if we said writing a book isn't hard work, but nothing beats knowing you are responsible for a book that you can be proud of - and that is bringing pleasure to thousands of people. Packt books usually publish in specialist technical fields, and being known as the author of the definitive book on a topic can add to your credibility within that community. Conversely, a book can benefit the community for which it is published. For example those CMSs that have had books published about them have benefited greatly from the author's work.

What qualifications or skills do I need?

Good writing skills
Enthusiasm for communicating technical ideas and concepts
A few hours a week of available time
The will to keep working on the book even when you're busy
Valuable experience of a technology or technical skill that you are keen to share with readers
