Prepare Proposal
Once you’ve compiled your proposal, please complete the Proposal Submission Form. The Content Administrator Team will refer your proposal to the Editor for your selected subject area.
Our targets market include:
Higher Education
We deliver content that serves the needs of instructors, students, and researchers. These works range from textbooks designed to serve the need of a specific course to research-driven titles that aid in more specialized learning.
Trade publishing / Professional
Trade and Professional books are intended for a more general readership, sold through bookstores, online retailers, and other commercial channels.
We publish across disciplines and professions ranging from chemistry, materials science, life sciences, engineering, social sciences and humanities, psychology, medicine, nursing, veterinary, architecture, and culinary.
Editors decide what we publish. Listening to our customers, Editors identify gaps in the market and work with our authors to create compelling and useful content. They collaborate with authors to turn great ideas into great books.
Editors take various factors into account when making their decision.
The editor brings this information to the publishing committee meeting. They'll consult with external advisers and our own local and international marketing and sales colleagues, who'll contribute to the book if we opt to publish. This meeting is generally where the decision on how to proceed is made.
Once a decision is made to publish, the editor will offer a contract. The contract will define the publication, how and when it will be delivered, and outlines yours and the publisher's rights and responsibilities, as well as confirming your remuneration.
Once you've signed the contract, it's time to get to work on your manuscript.
