How to Publish Your Book with I.B.Tauris
We welcome proposals for new books, be they academic monographs based on the latest research; student texts; or less specialised general interest books (non-fiction). If you have a project that you would like us to consider please send us the following by email or post:
1. A proposal letter indicating the book's subject, length and potential market, that addresses the following points:
- Why does a book need to be published on your proposed topic?
- How will it differ from others in the area?
- What competition will it face?
- How will it fit in with other I.B.Tauris publishing?
- What is the market for this book?
- If you view this book as a student text, for what courses (and at what level) would it be appropriate?
- What is the intended date of completion?
- What is the estimated length of the work (including notes, bibliography and appendices)?
2. Synopsis of the book
3. Table of Contents
4. Two sample chapters (if available)
5. The names of two suggested academic reviewers
6. Your CV/resumé, including
- Personal details
- Brief description of academic interests and professional affiliations
- Recent publications
- If the book is an edited collection, please provide names and affiliations for every contributor
Please note that we do not publish fiction, poetry or children's books. We do not accept complete manuscripts unless we specifically request them. Unsolicited manuscripts will not be returned. For academic monographs we may commission external reports from referees at this stage or we may ask you to prepare a more substantial draft before we consult our advisors. Details of our academic advisors can be found on each subject homepage.
Proposals should be emailed or posted to the relevant editor (see subject specialisations below) at:
I.B.Tauris & Co Ltd
6 Salem Road
London
W2 4BU
United Kingdom
The appropriate commissioning editor will review your proposal. Please do not send your proposal to more than one editor at a time. We may commission external reports from referees at this stage or we may ask you to prepare a more substantial draft before we consult our advisors. Details of our academic advisors can be found on each subject homepage.
