Submission Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in Syracuse University Press. If you wish to propose a new book project to us, first review the subject areas in which we publish. Should your topic fall within these areas, kindly complete a New Book Proposal Form (MS Word) and email to the appropriate acquisitions editor, along with your current curriculum vitae and a preliminary table of contents. Note that we currently publish fiction, memoir, and poetry only through invited series.

If the acquisitions editor—often in cooperation with a series editor—determines that your project is an appropriate fit to our list, you may be invited to submit a complete manuscript for confidential external peer review.
