Monograph Guidelines

Submit your monograph in a Word document via email.

Spacing

Single space, double space between paragraphs.

Quotations

Enclose all directly quoted material in quotation marks and give credit in a footnote. Check to make sure the quotation is verbatim. Use ellipses (…) to indicate any omitted material. Paraphrasing can legally be considered a quotation, if it consists of copying with a few words or phrases altered.

Footnotes

Single space footnotes at the bottom of the page. They should be preceded by a short rule to separate them from the text.

Expository Footnotes

These expand on a point made in the text and should appear at the bottom of the page to which they refer.

How To Write A Book or Monograph Proposal

So you have a fabulous book or monograph idea and want to tell us about it. Putting together a book proposal is your next step. Fortunately, book proposals are relatively straightforward to produce. Below is an outline of the information you should include in a book proposal for us.

Working Title

A working title is the tentative title for your book. The final title is based on a number of factors that will help us market your book, such as an analysis of the market for competing books, whether your title is catchy and compels book buyers to pick it up, where your book is likely to be shelved in bookstores, and how your title fares in electronic searches on Amazon.com and other online booksellers. Please provide a title that you think best describes your book. But be aware that it will likely change.
