Book Proposals
We are interested in high quality proposals for monographs and edited volumes broadly in the field of environmental history (including cultural history with an environmental flavour, conservation history, and the history of environmental ideas). If the subject meshes with those explored in our journals, we could well be interested; and if not, we might be open to persuasion. Although authors should not expect all the prestige and distribution power of a larger press, what we do guarantee is intelligent, flexible and personal treatment from editors with academic backgrounds and writing experience. The same person will see your book through from proposal to printing, and we aim always to treat authors with fairness and friendliness. You can download our book proposal form here as a Word document or PDF, or contact Sarah Johnson to discuss your idea.
All books are peer reviewed by field experts at the detailed proposal stage. Unless specifically required by authors or funders, complete manuscripts are not fully peer reviewed as we feel that this is not a reasonable call to make on scholars’ time and goodwill. In essay collections, each essay is reviewed by the editor(s) and one other author within the collection, in order to improve cohesiveness and connections between essays. If required by any contributors or their funders, individual articles can be sent for anonymous peer review according to the standards set out above for journal articles. We do not undertake this routinely for all essays in a collection because of the significant delays to publication involved.
We prefer to publish new books on an open access basis. We do charge publication fees for Open Access book production, which will depend on the length and complexity of the particular work. We may however be able to fund part or all of the cost of publishing your book open access through support from the Open Book Collective. We do not normally charge any fees for gated publication, but are open to offers of subvention for certain highly specialised works or works requiring extensive or high quality illustrations.
By default, we publish open access books under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence, but we are open to using other forms of CC BY license if authors or their funders have a specific preference.
