Submit a CES Proposal
Submitting a Proposal
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 of two sample chapters
-
-
Send your proposal to all three of the CES Editors
-
The proposal is then sent to an independent academic reviewer in order to get advice on the quality, conent 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.
