- Title
On Submitting a Proposal to a Publisher.
- Authors
Balkin, Richard
- Abstract
The first step in publishing a college textbook is usually the submission of a proposal. Currently, textbook publishers are cutting back the number of books they are contracting, but ‘over-the-transom’ proposals continue to flood editors' desks. Very few proposals are properly prepared since few would-be authors are aware of the precise information a publisher needs. This article suggests both guidelines for a ’good ‘ proposal, as well as some additional hints for textbook publication.
