Submission Guidelines

To submit a proposal to Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, send the following information to the appropriate acquisitions editor for your subject. Please include the following:

• We'll need your curriculum vitae or resume. If you are proposing a contributed volume, please include affiliations and, if possible, brief resumes for each of the contributors, as well as your own c.v.





• Also send a prospectus. The prospectus should include a description of the book, what makes it unique and why you are qualified to write it; an analysis of competing or similar books (including publishers and dates); a description of your target audience (undergraduate or graduate students? scholars? professionals?); a list of courses in which your book might be used as a text or supplementary text; an indication of whether any of the material in the book has been previously published, and if so, when and where; the names of other publishers to whom you have submitted a proposal (if relevant); the length of the manuscript in 12 point type on double-spaced 8 1/2 by 11 pages; and, if the manuscript is not complete, an estimation of when it will be finished.





• Please also send a detailed table of contents.





• Include one or two sample chapters. If an introduction or overview is available, please include it.





• List four to seven potential peer reviewers, with whom you have no personal or professional relationship. If possible, please include their affiliations, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses.





• Please do not send your entire manuscript. If an acquisitions editor would like to see the complete manuscript, he or she will let you know.
