We are unable to accept handwritten submissions.
Please provide a covering letter explaining your proposal, why you believe it is appropriate for the Foundation, the target market and its commercial potential.
Please provide a synopsis of the work, a list and outline of the individual chapters, and a sample chapter, plus the bibliography.
Please provide a brief biography advising of your qualifications to write the book.
Let us know of any organisations/societies in which you are involved, and any media and other contacts you might have, to facilitate the promotion of the book and sales.
We request that proposals are submitted to the Foundation in electronic format preferably in MS Word. These should be submitted as plain Word files, with no images embedded and no embellishments or fancy formatting. The text should preferably be formatted in Times New Roman, 11 point text, with text justified and in single line spacing.
Where a submission is provided in hardcopy, it should follow the above guidance.
Under no circumstances should any original photographs, documents or artefacts be sent by post (or deliver by hand). The Foundation accepts no responsibility for such material.
Note: hardcopy submissions generally will not be returned to the author. If you would like your manuscript returned, please provide an appropriately sized and priced stamped addressed envelope.
The Foundation endeavours within ten working days to acknowledge receipt of submissions. The Senior Management Team initially evaluates submissions for publication. If deemed appropriate, the submission is then passed to the Foundation’s Publications Committee who will make the final decision on whether to proceed with publication. The Publications Committee usually meets three times per year so it might take a minimum of six months, or more, before we can provide a final decision from the Committee.
Do not hesitate to get in touch to discuss how the Foundation might make your publication proposal a reality.
