Following are some proposal guidelines. What to include in your proposal Proposals which do not follow these guidelines will be ignored. Please include: The rationale for your book (approximately 100 words). Draft chapter outline with abstracts (50 words) on each chapter. This should make clear the structure, scope and argument of your proposal, and the number of words, with and without footnotes, in it. Summary of the experience and background which qualifies you to write the manuscript (approximately 100 words). The category (or categories) in our subject index appropriate to your proposal. What competitive advantage your book would have over its rivals (apart from your authorship). The intended market: what group or groups of people you think will be sufficiently interested in your book to buy it. Do not send your entire manuscript. You may find our House Style Guide helpful.
