Our web site has generated a great deal of interest from people
who would like to publish with the Press. The following guidelines
address the questions potential authors most often ask the editors
about submitting new projects.
What Should You Send?
Apart from the cover letter and collateral material, editors strongly
prefer to have all material typed and double-spaced. We do not accept
project inquiries or proposed manuscripts on disk, and we prefer
not to have extensive proposals sent by email. Please send only
photocopies of art work; the Press cannot be responsible for one-of-a-kind
materials.
For projects in the early stages of development, you might begin
with a written inquiry or phone call to determine whether the topic
is suited to Temple's editorial program. If you decide to send the
proposal you have prepared, you should include a project overview,
table of contents (with contributors' names, if appropriate), your
c.v. or resume, and any available sample materials (e.g., abstracts,
draft chapters, previously published work on a related topic, copies
of illustrations).
If you would like to submit a completed or nearly completed manuscript,
you should send a brief inquiry (by mail or email) or speak with
an editor first to discuss the book's appropriateness for our list.
When you send the manuscript, you should include your c.v. or resume
as well as a cover letter that tells us whether you are also submitting
it to other publishers. Manuscripts should come in the form of unbound
pages so that we can easily photocopy them if we decide to send
them out for review.
You are welcome to suggest possible readers for your proposal or
manuscript; if you do, please supply their current affiliations.
Please do not, however, contact the potential reviewers yourself.
The editor will discuss your work and review process with you before
deciding whether to send the project out for further evaluation.
An envelope with return postage is customary if you would like
your materials returned to you in the event that we do not pursue
the project.

To Which Editor?
If you have a project that you would like to submit to the Press,
you can send an inquiry to Janet Francendese, Editor-in-Chief, or
directly to the editor who seems to be responsible for acquisitions
in your field. Our list is highly interdisciplinary, so the right
choice is not always obvious. Be assured, though, that your project
will soon find its way to the appropriate person.
