If you have a manuscript appropriate to our publishing program that you would like us to consider, we ask that you first submit a proposal. Your proposal should include the following: * An overview of the project (approx. 2,500 words), explaining how your work will fit into, and add to, current literature on the subject, and which makes clear the project's central argument * A chapter outline, with roughly 400 words devoted to each chapter. For scholarly monographs and single-author nonfiction, the outline must show how the chapters build cohesively on each other to support the argument. For a proposed essay collection, the outline should include an overview of the volume's introduction, an abstract of each of the essays, and a list of the contributors and their affiliations. Again, the outline should show how they all connect to the subject of the book. * One or two completed chapters or essays * Anticipated length of the manuscript (in words), and the anticipated date of completion * Preliminary bibliography * The number and type of illustrations, if any * A r�sum� or curriculum vitae
