Turn your lecture notes into a typeset textbook. You keep the copyright.
Send your LaTeX, slides, PDFs, scans or handwriting. We return a human-edited, beautifully typeset book, with an ISBN, and every figure regenerated from your equations.
Fermi Press publishes a small list by invitation. If your material fits, we set a chapter at our own cost, so you can judge the quality before anything is agreed.
Nine books already in print, with many more on the way. Their authors teach at MIT, Stanford, Brown, IIT and IISER.
\chapter{Energy and Momentum} Momentum conservation is the crown jewel of Newtonian mechanics. It lets you analyse a collision without knowing anything about the forces inside it. The law owes its power to a symmetry: under a Galilean boost the total momentum shifts by the total mass times the boost velocity. \begin{equation} \mathbf{u}_A = (0.6c,\, +0.3c), \qquad \mathbf{u}_B = (-0.6c,\, -0.3c). \end{equation}
You would be in remarkable company.
Fermi Press already sets books for a Nobel laureate in Physics, a Boltzmann Medallist, and recipients of the Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri, across physics, engineering and computer science. Their material is already taught at MIT and Stanford, and department deans are in conversation with us about the next editions.
Nine books in print. Many more on the way.
Every book on this shelf was set by Fermi Press, from its author’s own material. This is the shelf we would set yours beside.
Whatever state your material is in, it becomes a finished page.
LaTeX, slides, a scanned manuscript, a chapter you abandoned in 2016. These are real interior pages from real Fermi Press books.
Propose your book.
Fermi Press publishes by invitation. Tell us about your material and our publishing team will be in touch, usually within a working day. We take work we can set to the standard of the shelf above, and we decline what we cannot.
Every figure is computed from your equations, not drawn by hand.
A hand-drawn diagram can lie: an arrow a little off, a curve that bends the wrong way, an error a student then memorises. Ours cannot. Each figure is generated from the mathematics itself, so it is exactly as true as the equation it came from.
Start with one chapter. We build the rest.
Send a single chapter and we typeset it, free, so you see the quality before anything else. Then our engine drafts the book and three tiers of human scholars read every line before it reaches you.
Start free
Send one chapter of your material. We typeset it and return a free sample, so you judge the quality before anything else.
26 engines draft it
A suite of 26 specialised engines, built over the last months across the whole of pedagogy, drafts the structure, the figures, the worked examples and the problem sets.
Three tiers of scholars
Post-doctoral and post-PhD reviewers read and proofread the book, tier by tier: subject accuracy, then pedagogy, then a final line proof.
You approve every page
Nothing is final until you have read and signed off the proof. Your voice, your call, always.
It becomes a book
Set for print and PDF, ISBN and DOI registered, listed with retail and library channels, published under the Fermi Press imprint.
The tutor on the page
Add the living layer whenever you like: the Fermi tutor, reachable from a printed mark beside the idea.
Who makes your book, and who is accountable for it.
We are plain about this, because you will have to be, in your preface and to your institution. A first draft is produced by software; every word that ships is read, corrected and approved by human scholars, and then by you.
Subject accuracy
A reviewer in the book’s own field checks every claim, derivation and figure against your source, and against the literature.
Pedagogy
A second reviewer checks the sequence, the misconceptions pre-empted, the worked examples and the problems, for how a student actually learns.
The line proof
A final proof editor reads the set pages cover to cover for typography, notation and consistency, before anything reaches you.
Optionally, a book that answers back.
In a 4D edition, a small printed mark sits beside a key term, a worked example, a figure. Scan it, and Euler, the Fermi tutor, opens, already holding that exact page.
Every mark is a doorway into the page.
Not a link to a generic chatbot. Each mark is a unique code that opens the tutor already loaded with this term, this figure, this chapter, in the book’s own notation.
At two in the morning, a student scans the mark and Euler answers from the page they are on, in the notation they were taught.Optional. Any 2D book can be upgraded to 4D later.
A book that counts on a CV, and outlives you.
A publisher is not a printer. Your book has to be findable, orderable, citable and yours, for a long time, in ways a promotion committee and a research office recognise.

Fermi Press is the publishing house of Fermi.
Fermi brings the professors who shaped their fields to every learner, through faculty-led courses and a tutor that is always there. Fermi Press is where those professors’ own material becomes a book, and where the tutor steps off the screen and onto the page.

The questions we are asked first.
What does it cost, and how does that work?
How long does it take?
Who actually does the work, humans or AI?
Do I keep my copyright?
Can students and libraries actually order the book?
If the tutor gives a student a wrong answer beside my paragraph, is that on me?
Is the output accessible?
