SERIES EMBRACE?

WHEN YOUR BOOK IS CONSIDERED
THE CONTRACT
WHAT ABOUT THE MANUSCRIPT?
COORDINATING WORK ON YOUR BOOK
INQUIRIES, PROPOSALS, OR REQUESTS
FOR CATALOGS
Inquiries and proposals
for works on all subjects relating to the history and conservation
of costume and adornment are welcome.
Books published range from scholarly to general interest
and vary widely in format, from primarily textual to highly illustrated.
Although
all titles must pass a rigorous review in terms of substance,
50% of published titles address or embrace
a general readership.
Titles in this category must be well written and focused
on their specific subjects as well as carefully researched and
substantiated,
but cannot become too deeply entrenched in theory and analysis
or jargon for the average reader.
To submit a book proposal to us,
you should send a two-to-four page typed outline or annotated
contents indicating the nature
and scope of each chapter and significant appendix. Your
proposal should also comprise an introduction, a minimum
of two sample
chapters, and a cover letter that includes:
Your working
title
Anticipated manuscript length
A comparison of your book to others published on the subject, explaining why you think your treatment of the subject is unique
A concise summary of the niche and market for
your book, specifying the need for it, the various audiences
who will
purchase it, and the size of those audiences.
A brief autobiographical
summary telling us why you are qualified to write this book,
and the nature and scope
of the research.
Make sure you list your complete address (including
e-mail, if any), with a daytime phone number. If you
want your
material returned, enclose an addressed return envelope
with sufficient
postage. You can expect an initial response within
eight weeks of our receipt of your proposal.
If we are potentially interested in publishing
your book, we will send you an Author Questionnaire and
request
additional manuscript samples. Your answers to this
questionnaire are crucial to our decision and—should your
book be accepted—in
the preparation of promotional materials. All titles
that merit further consideration are also reviewed
by outside readers as
proposals and/or manuscripts and must be approved
by the Texas Tech University Press Editorial Committee.
Sales and cost estimates, and a price recommendation,
will be worked out by our marketing and business
departments. The final
decision to publish will be based on these estimates,
your
proposal or complete manuscript, your responses
to the Author Questionnaire,
and comparisons with similar proposals received.
We will inform you of our decision as soon as possible—usually
within two to three months after we receive the
additional materials
and information requested.
Your contract will be offered upon approval of
the Editorial Committee. It will pay a standard
royalty
as a percentage
of actual receipts from sales of books, subsidiary
rights, and
licenses. Agented authors should be aware that
we insist on direct communications
with the author during the consideration process.
A scheduled date for completion of your
complete and final manuscript (including all ancillary
materials: illustrative
matter, permissions,
etc.) will be specified in your contract.
Failure to
meet this deadline may result in the removal
of the book from
our production
time-table. This will delay, and may even
prevent, its eventual publication.
Proposals and manuscripts should
be submitted on 8.5” x
11” sheets, typed or word-processed
in double-space, and consecutively numbered.
Manuscripts should be at
least 200 pages
in length, unless we specifically agree
to fewer. Final manuscripts are required
word-processed
on IBM-compatible
disk(s) and in
matching hard copy (Microsoft Word 6.0
for Windows is the program of preference).
After contracting, your
book will be scheduled for pre-production development
through
the editorial department as soon as
your complete and final manuscript
is received. The
Press cannot
provide anything beyond normal press-level
editing, therefore, if substantial
revision is necessary, your manuscript
will be returned to you. If your final
manuscript
is
acceptable, the
Press will
engage
an on-disk copyeditor to make corrections
and suggestions for improvement, send
you hard
copy to check, and
clear with you
directly any questions that arise about
the manuscript.
The book will not be
put into production until the sponsoring editor determines
that all reasonable
manuscript refinements
have been made. Your sponsoring editor
is your representative
on our publishing staff and will
be eager to talk with you at any time,
not only
about your
current
book,
but also about
future
writing projects you may have in
mind.
Once your copyedited manuscript enters
production, we will keep you informed
on our progress
in its prepress development.
A production
schedule will be set and you will
be informed as to when you will
receive first and second,
and
if necessary,
final
page
proofs to check. When you receive
second
page proofs, you will have
time to prepare (or engage a professional
to prepare), to be delivered on
disk to the Press
with your
returned page
proofs.
Generally, the Press receives
printed and bound books roughly two to
four months after the
book is sent
to the printer,
depending upon the nature of
the book and
the location of the printer.
Your publication date is not
the date the Press receives or is able
to ship
your
books, nor
the day you receive
advance copies.
It is a carefully planned date
set in consideration of marketing
plans
and
the earliest available
date your book
can appear
in the stores. The marketing
department will work closely with
you
to establish the more desirable release
date.
