For Authors: Proposals
The North Carolina Studies in Romance Languages and Literatures is always looking for prospective manuscripts that fit its publication profile, which is quite broad (see About Us). However, given the limited number of books published each year, the Editorial Board requires that authors first submit a proposal describing the purpose of the manuscript (what problem it seeks to solve, how it differs from other books, why it should matter to the reader); its approach (on what criticism or critical theory it is based, if any), and its audience (general, graduate students, specialists in one or more fields). The proposal should be accompanied by 1) a Table of Contents, 2) an Introduction, 3) a sample chapter, and 4) the vita of the writer. Authors should also note whether the manuscript is completed or, if it is not finished, give its anticipated date of completion. NCSRLL cannot be responsible for any unsolicited manuscripts.
Proposals should be sent to:
Frank Domínguez
Editor NCSRLL
Department of Romance Languages
The University of North Carolina
CB#3170, Chapel Hill, NC 27599
It is not NCSRLL policy to return proposals, so authors should retain a copy. The Board meets once a month to determine the projects it would like to consider.
