Ruth Mujica-Sequera
An imprint of Grupo Docentes 2.0
From research to book.
We turn theses into books that are read outside academia, and we publish original works on education, innovation, and teaching practice.
Two paths to publication
Every book arrives by a different path. The standard is the same.
We accept completed theses and original manuscripts alike. Both go through editorial evaluation, professional guidance, and publication with an imprint, an ISBN, and promotion.
Path A
Turn a thesis into a book
For those who defended a doctoral or master's thesis and want their research to reach readers who would never open a repository.
- An approved, defended thesis
- Publication rights available
- A topic within our editorial lines
- Willingness to rewrite with editorial guidance
See requirements and process
Every proposal goes through editorial evaluation. Acceptance is not automatic.
Path B
Submit an unpublished book
For authors, individual or collective, with an original manuscript that contributes to educational knowledge or teaching practice.
- An unpublished work, not committed to another press
- A complete or near-complete manuscript
- Suggested length: 120 to 350 pages
- Rigor in sources, data, and citations
See requirements and process
Every proposal goes through editorial evaluation. Acceptance is not automatic.
What we actually do
A thesis and a book are not the same text.
A thesis is written to satisfy a committee. A book is written to persuade and guide a reader. Our editorial work is closing that distance without losing the rigor of the original research.
| In the thesis | In the book |
|---|---|
| A descriptive, lengthy title, with variables and population | A title that names the idea and invites a reader |
| An extensive methodology chapter, required by the committee | A method distilled to what the reader needs to trust it |
| An exhaustive literature review, meant to prove wide reading | Prior work woven into the argument, not a catalog of authors |
| A defensive structure: framework, method, results, discussion | A narrative structure: problem, findings, implications, application |
| Deliberate repetition across chapters | Each idea, once, in its place |
| Reader: the members of a committee | Reader: teachers, administrators, and researchers in other fields |
We do not publish typeset theses. We publish books born from a thesis. The process involves guided rewriting and takes months, not days.
