MEAP - Manning Early Access Program
Return to Manning Books
What is MEAP?
“A book can take a year or more to write, so how do you learn that hot new technology today? The answer is MEAP, the Manning Early Access Program. In MEAP, you read a book chapter-by-chapter while it's being written and get the final eBook as soon as it's finished. If you pre-order the pBook, you'll get it long before it's available in stores.”
The MEAP advantage
MEAP offers several benefits over the traditional “wait to read” model.
- Get started now. You can read early versions of the chapters before the book is finished.
- Regular updates. We'll let you know when updates are available, and you can get the new content from your Manning user account.
- Get finished books faster. MEAP customers are the first to get final eBooks and pBooks.
- Contribute to the writing process. Your feedback in the liveBook Discussion Forum makes the book better.
- Occasionally, we will decide not to publish a book that's become available in MEAP. Fear not! If we cancel your MEAP, you can exchange it for another book or get a refund.“
The longer story of MEAP
“Why we created MEAP: A book takes a long time to publish. Back before we started the Manning Early Access Program in 2003, we found it frustrating that while authors were working on later chapters, the earlier ones sat in our archives gathering dust, of no use to anyone. Valuable content was locked up by the lengthy writing and publishing process. So we changed the process: we created MEAP. Since then, many other publishers have followed our lead.”
