Book proposal info    

If you would like to submit an outline or proposal, please contact the appropriate commissioning editor or contact name at the Polity Editorial Office in Cambridge (details below). Proposals should give a brief synopsis of the central arguments and themes of the book, and it is very helpful for us to have the following information included:

•           Proposed working title (the title should give a clear indication of the content of the book);

•           Chapter-by-chapter outline;

•           The estimated length (in thousands of words, including bibliography);

•           A realistic delivery date;

•           An outline for the proposed market, including which subject group(s) the book is aimed at; the names of particular courses on which the book might be used; the level at which the book is aimed. Think in international terms (e.g. Whether your book would be appropriate for the North American market);

•           Information on whether your book is designed to be a research monograph, supplementary reading, a core textbook, or a book for general readers;

•           Information on the main competing titles and how your proposed book is different.
