CALL DETAILS
After the publication of five titles in the series we invite submission of book
proposals (adhering to the guidelines set out below) as one document with one
full chapter for books in the range of 35,000-80,000 words. The books in the
series are published online in an open access format available online without
payment using a Creative Commons licence (CC-BY-NC-ND) and simultaneously as
affordable paperbacks. We are able to publish a number of books in the call
without any book processing charges thanks to generous support by the
University of Westminster that covers these fees. Potential authors are welcome
to contact the series editor outside of the initial time frame of this call for
book proposals but should note that priority for funding support for suitable
projects will be given to those proposals meeting the deadline. There is a
preference for the submission of proposals for books whose writing can be
finished and that can be submitted to UWP within the next 6-15 months. In the
event of a surplus of strong proposals preference will be given to
single-authored book proposals over edited volumes.
We welcome submissions of a book outline proposal with (exactly one) sample
chapter submitted as one single Word or PDF document. We can only accept
suggestions for books written in English.
