How do you politely and gratefully reply to an invitation to be published?


Is there a set phrase for politely replying to an invitation to have your
academic paper published as a journal article?

I presented a paper at a Japanese academic conference, and I've received an
email from the academic society's committee which says they have selected it
to have it published in their annual academic journal
(「発表者には要旨原稿をいただきたいということになりました。」) and that I must first reply to let them know
whether or not I accept the invitation (「まずは要旨掲載を希望するか否か、ご意向をお知らせ下さい。」).

I want to thankfully accept the invitation. If I reply with

> ご連絡ありがとうございます。
>
> はい、要旨掲載を希望します。
>
> よろしくお願いします。

is that okay, or is it not polite enough? Is there a set phrase that should be
used? Should the reply be longer? Should I thank them specifically for
choosing or for considering my paper for publication?

**Edit:**

kimbrys notes, "it might be quite too short of an answer for such email" and
naruto writes, "you can't be too polite." How can I write this sort of
response email longer and more robustly in order to be more polite? What
additional sort of content would be standard?

This time, I received the instructions
「…掲載する論文の執筆を依頼することが決まりました。以下に執筆要領を記しますので、それに従いご執筆願えるか否か、諾否をお知らせ下さい。」




お返事ありがとうございました。

掲載していただければ光栄です。

どうぞ宜しくお願いいたします。

Yet, it might be quite too short of an answer for such email.
