Murphy at the ASA/SIAM
for the coming year, and holding a topic-

contributed panel session to share informa-
tion about how to publish with the series.
Many attendees stopped by the booth
in the exhibit hall to browse through the
titles, fill out our annual survey, and chat
with SIAM Publisher David Marshall or
Series Acquisitions Editor Sara Murphy.
From our conversations and the survey,
we’ve learned a lot about you and what
you’re hoping to see from the series. We
had 188 survey respondents this year, and
we thank each of you for your willingness
to participate. Your answers help us iden-
tify topics for books that would be useful
in your professional pursuits and shape our
marketing strategies so you’re sure to learn
about books of interest to you.
If you missed our topic-contributed
panel, below are some reasons for choosing
the ASA-SIAM series for your book:
• The only ASA-supported book series
• Competitive royalties
• Meticulous copy editing by
experienced staff
• Worldwide marketing
• Books never go out of print
