If you are not sure, please email the series editors with your book ideas for their opinion.

3. How can I propose a book to the editors?

• Please send the book proposal and two or three full chapters (a full manuscript is fine) to the series editors by email. We will let you know within a month if the book proposal can progress to peer review process, based on an evaluation of the theme, structure of the book, and quality of the work. If a proposal is accepted by the series editors, the publisher, Palgrave Macmillan, will arrange the blind peer review.

Once the book enters production, a Production Editor from Palgrave will liaison with you to handle manuscript submission and publication. For more details, Download Author Handbook.pdf
