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.

From Writing Out of Limbo: International Childhoods, Global Nomads and Third Culture Kids
“This terrific and substantial volume is a vital step in clarifying the experiences, gifts, and struggles of those who grew up around the world, or with those who grew up elsewhere. I can’t wait to teach with it.”
– Wendy Laura Belcher, PhD, Professor of Literature, Princeton University
“Well-grounded in classical perspectives and new visions of what it means to live in an intercultural world, the book offers a wonderful array of memoir, research, interviews, theory and even poetry. There’s something for everyone here!”
– Anne P. Copeland, PhD, Director, The Interchange Institute
“The selections here, varied as they are, share the quiet, profound, and rich experiences of people writing on the most innocent years, transcendent of cultural boundaries. Reading this book is a travel across the globe with an impressive group of worldly citizens.”
– Morten Ender, PhD, Professor of Sociology, United States Military Academy at West Point
“I recommend this book to all parents who are creating TCKs; to teachers and professors of TCKs; for general reading and understanding of the making of a citizen of the world; and, finally, to TCKs themselves, who will see that their experiences are shared with many others.”
– Linda A. Garvelink, President, Foreign Service Youth Foundation
“This book is an essential contribution to the discussion of migration and the art of finding a home between borders. In vivid prose, the authors reveal the value of cultural negotiation and the complexity of identities formed on the margins.”
– Neela Vaswani, PhD, Author of You Have Given Me a Country
