How to Submit a Book Chapter

Follow the steps below to submit your chapter proposal for review.

1. Create an Author Account

Register with your name, email, and affiliation. You'll use this account to track every submission you make.

2. Choose an Open Book

Browse the Upcoming Books page and select a volume that is currently accepting chapter proposals.

3. Prepare Your Chapter

  • Chapter length: typically 3,000–6,000 words (unless stated otherwise for a specific volume).
  • Format: Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx) or PDF, 12pt font, 1.5 line spacing.
  • Include: title, abstract (150–250 words), 4–6 keywords, and references in APA style.
  • Ensure originality — chapters must not be previously published or under review elsewhere.

4. Submit Online

Log in, open the target book's submission form, fill in your chapter details, and upload your manuscript file (max 10 MB).

5. Review Process

Submissions are reviewed by the editorial team. You'll receive email updates as your status changes: Submitted → Under Review → Accepted / Revision Requested / Rejected. You can track progress anytime from your dashboard.

6. Publication

Accepted chapters proceed to copyediting and are compiled into the final published volume, which will appear in the Published Books catalogue.
