She is also accepting proposals for works across the fields of political science, more specifically in International Relations, Conflict Processes, Security Studies, Intelligence Studies, Diplomacy, and Foreign Policy.

Selling the Books

Authors often ask me, "what is your main market?" and "Do you sell the books in other countries?"

Our main markets are the United States, Canada, and the UK. And yes, we do sell around the world. For example, we have garnered adoptions in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Australia. 

Here is a list of our representative around the world. Download Sales representatives

We also sell foreign rights and our books have been translated in many languages, including Chinese, Spanish, Japanese...

Tips on gettings published: which editor?

How do you approach an editor?

First, check the publisher's list of titles in your discipline to see whether your project would be a good fit. If you are planning an academic monograph, for example, you would be wasting your time querying a house that publishes only for a general audience.

Next, be sure to identify the appropriate editor to contact.

Most publishers have a list of their commissioning editors on their website. Pick the editor who commissions books in the discipline pertaining to the topic of your book.

If your book pertains to several disciplines, such as political theory and philosophy, choose the "dominant" one. If you're a political scientist, for example, you probably should most likely contact the politics editor.

*Tip* Avoid contacting several editors with one email. By doing so, you're actually lowering your chances of a response.
