The submission process:

• Create your proposal. This must include:


• A complete book proposal (see guidelines for layout and the criteria by which the proposal will be judged)
• CV of author(s)/editor(s)
• One or two sample chapters




• Send your proposal to the CES Editors and/or heidi.bagtazo@tandf.co.uk.
  
  
• The proposal will then be circulated to the editors. At this stage we may ask you to rework and resubmit the proposal.
  
  
• The proposal is then sent to an independent academic reviewer in order to get advice on the quality, content and marketability of the book. This process normally takes 8-12 weeks but can be longer.
  
  
• If the reviews are positive and the project is endorsed by the Series Editors, the proposal is then sent to Routledge for final approval.

What happens if my proposal is accepted?

• If your proposal is accepted you will receive a draft contract, which you sign and return to Routledge. The contract includes an agreed date for the delivery of the manuscript.


• Once the book has been written and delivered, you will liaise with a desk-editor at Routledge over the copy-editing and production process.


• Routledge will then publish, market and sell the book as part of the CES series.
