Home - Cambridge Scholars Publishing

Although we do accept unsolicited manuscripts for publication, we prefer working with sample chapters, summaries, and so on. Please submit the following if you are proposing a new book: Introduction for, and summary of, the work. We recommend that this be no longer than 1,000-1,500 words, but are happy to receive longer introductions and summaries where you judge this to be appropriate. A sample chapter. In the case of collections of essays where it is not possible to provide an introduction, or where a sample chapter is not yet available, some other published works of medium-sized article-length should be submitted. This work should, if at all possible, be on the same subject as the proposed book. A survey of other works in the field which might compete with the proposed one, and a brief argument demonstrating why the proposed work will, despite competition, be of value to libraries and scholars. A survey of the market for the book. Who will read it, and why they will want to buy it. The approximate length of the book, including all end-matter such as appendixes, bibliographies, and indexes. The number of photographs that are required. We include photographs only where they are absolutely necessary. Photographs raise the costs of production, and therefore the price that we are able to offer, and make the book less available.

Please note that we no longer offer the option of submitting proposals by online form, but we prefer receiving proposals by email.

Proposals will only be returned if a return is explicitly requested on the cover letter and if either a self-addressed, stamped envelope, or payment for the postage of returns is made. All other proposals will be discarded after being processed.

We ordinarily take between 1-2 months to respond to proposals. If your proposal has not been considered in this time, please write to request information about its status.

Interesting reviews

From Border States in the Work of Tom Mac Intyre: A Paleo-Postmodern Perspective

''Catriona Ryan has more than achieved what she set out to do.She has emphatically presented Tom Mac Intyre as a writer with a distinctive voice who not only provides a crucial link in the chain that goes back through Kavanagh to Yeats, but as a bridging figure, a transgressive author whose reflections on the Irish literary scene, and on writing more generally, have much to tell us about the ways in which constrictive critical currents can cut off living literary streams. It is clear from Catriona Ryan's painstaking excavation that Mac Intyre has been wrongly neglected. Her thoughtful and perceptive critical intervention will remedy that wrong.''
- Willy Maley, Litteraria Pragensia, 22:44 (2013), 131-134, p. 134.

“This is a critically independent piece of work that very much constructs and defines its own project, and maps an intellectual terrain of its own. It is an impressively original and also critically self-assured piece. It is marked by a sense of intellectual brio and also by the excitement of discovery.”
– Dr Steven Vine, Swansea University

“Since Tom Mac Intyre is a writer and dramatist who has received very little critical attention, this work intervenes in an under-researched area and offers an innovative and valuable extension of the frontier of knowledge in the field of Irish literary and dramatic studies.”
– Dr Aidan Arrowsmith, Manchester Metropolitan University
