The Publishing Proposal form helps give us a clear idea of your book project in a concise manner. Please complete it as fully as possible, or feel free to use it to structure your proposal.
On submission, your proposal will be read by one or more members of the editorial committee, who will, if necessary, discuss it with colleagues and/or send it for review by one or more external advisers chosen by us for their specialist and/or market expertise. We welcome sample chapters, a full manuscript, and other materials you have available you believe are relevant. Please submit these along with your proposal.
We encourage authors to have, and provide, an ORCID iD as this is an increasingly important way for authors to be connected with their content, their research, and use of their work. Visit orcid.com to enter the registry without fee.
We are committed to making publishing decisions as swiftly and efficiently as possible. However, obtaining reviews does take time, and if there are any circumstances we should bear in mind from the point of view of timing, please do let us know. We ask for sole consideration of the project while it is under review – or notification from you should you already have submitted this proposal to another publisher.
