Proposal Submission Requirements:
Before sending a submission, please check to make sure your project matches the subjects that we publish (history, international affairs, intelligence studies, security studies, current events, and sports). We do not publish fiction. We prefer to receive a query letter or a formal proposal before seeing the
entire manuscript. A query letter should provide a one-to-two-page synopsis of
the project and the author's credentials. A formal proposal should consist of
the following items:
- A one-to-two-page synopsis
- A table of contents or a rough outline of the manuscript's structure
- One or two sample chapters (double-spaced)
- Reviews of any previous books
- A biographical sketch or vita
For paper submissions, you must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope (SASE) to receive a response to your query. If we decide not to proceed with your project, please include enough postage on your SASE for any materials that you would like us to return. Please send your query letter or proposal to the appropriate editor (listed below) via regular mail or email.
