Submission Guidelines Monthly Review Press is an independent socialist publisher. Through our publishing program we seek to contribute to the critique of capitalism, and document and analyze struggles for a social order based on human need and possibility rather than corporate profit. We try to promote rational argument and open debate within a broad socialist culture rather than advancing the perspectives of any organization or tendency within the socialist camp. We welcome submission of manuscripts and manuscript proposals which contribute to these aims. Traditionally Monthly Review and Monthly Review Press have had a strong focus on Marxist political economy. We have also published extensively on labor issues, media, feminism, race and imperialism, and political struggles in the Third World. We have also published related work in fields such as urban studies and cultural studies. You can get a better idea of the range of themes we are interested in by consulting the catalog of Monthly Review Press or back issues of Monthly Review. We do not have rigid guidelines for submissions, but we expect a clear indication of the nature of the manuscript on the basis of which we can consider it for publication. Some authors prefer to submit a short proposal (we’d suggest at least 4-5 pages) outlining main themes, the basic structure of the book, its potential readership, etc. Some submit entire manuscripts. In most cases, we would prefer to receive an outline of the book and one or more chapters (but not more than a third of the whole manuscript). However, we recognize that the most suitable format for submission depends on the nature of the book project, how far work on it has proceeded, the length of the manuscript, the author’s access to copying facilities, and other factors. Do not send more than one copy of your submission. If we wish to send it to outside readers, we will copy it ourselves. Do not send diskettes. We do not usually return manuscripts unless you provide a self-addressed stamped envelope. Submissions should be sent to: E-mail enquiries can be directed to: presseditor@monthlyreview.org. |
