<\/span><\/h2> Please send your prospectus to all three editors. The prospectus should be a maximum of ten pages:\n
The first four pages should be an overview of the book\u2019s topic, but should be structured as a kind of pitch- what is the book\u2019s crucial intervention, why this book fits the publishing brief of the series, what traditional perspectives it challenges.
\nThe next section should offer a chapter summary which briefly sets out, in about three pages total, what is happening in the introduction and each chapter (maximum a paragraph for each section). If you have room you can put a contents list at the head of this section.\n
Another page should be devoted to the topic of \u2018Readership\u2019. This is important for the press. Who are the primary readers your book is directed towards, and to what additional disciplines\/research or teaching areas does it speak?\n
Next- comparable titles (about 1.5 pages). List books that might be thought to have canvassed your topic and very briefly (in one sentence per title), show how they do not, or how your project differs from these.
\nFinally, a paragraph on \u2018Specifications\u2019. This should state the word length of the final ms, and indicate possible illustrations, whether any material has previously appeared in article form and the expected date of completion.
