Individual Book Proposal Template - Viv Ellis
KEYWORDS IN TEACHER EDUCATIONIndividual Book Proposal TemplateThank you for approaching us with your proposal. Below are some headings and prompts designed to help you put together the information we need to consider your idea for publication in this series. They raise questions about the book, the market and the competition. Answering them fully allows us and the reviewers to understand what makes your proposal distinct. [Insert keyword here; the keyword will be the book title; one word or short phrase][Your name, institutional affiliation here] Outline informationWhy is this word (the word one you’ve chosen) a keyword in teacher education? [Please answer here in less than 100 words]Is this keyword relevant internationally?[Please explain its international relevance. Please answer here in less than 100 words]Briefly, outline some of the divergent or consequential differences in meaning associated with this keyword.[In other words, explain how it is used for different purposes in the discourses of teacher education. Please answer here in less than 150 words]Please supply a one-line description of the book summing up its scope and content.[Please focus on what is unique about the book. Please answer here in less than 30 words]Book proposalBackground and reasoning for proposing a short book on this keyword[Provide a longer account of why this keyword has been selected and why it is a keyword in teacher education. Give some examples of how it has evolved historically in particular contexts, and where it has been influential in certain practice, research or policy settings. In less than 400 words in total, please also provide references to relevant research and other evidence.]Please write a concise overview of the book.[Please write no more than 250 words. Would people with only a basic knowledge of the field understand what this book is about from your description? Remember this needs to be clear, informative and persuasive, suitable for use as the book’s marketing copy. Please think about the type of descriptive copy which would make you want to purchase the book.]Please highlight three key benefits the book offers. [Make these short, pithy and think: are these the three reasons why someone would read this book? For example, information about case studies, topics or geographical areas covered in the book.]The book in outline, chapter-by-chapter[Please provide a chapter-by-chapter summary of the book here, giving the main arguments and the approximate word length for each chapter. Please remember that the upper word limit for a book in this series is 30,000 words (excluding notes and the list of references) and that most books will be between 25,000 and 30,000 words in length.Your chapter summaries should be between 250 and 300 words and clearly provide detailed information about the content and direction of each chapter.There is no set format for books in the series so authors are encouraged to use chapters in ways that strengthen their overall argument. That said, the final chapter in each book should directly address the consequences of differences in meaning in terms of current and future practices, research and policy. There is no need to provide a ‘blueprint’ for action at the end of the book but the final chapter should make the significance of your preceding discussion clear for a readership of teacher educators - who may or may not be based in schools or universities.]References[Provide a list of the sources you refer to in the proposal here, using any referencing system.]Length[In number of words, how long will the book be? How long do you anticipate the list of references to be - in terms of number of words?]Illustrations[How many tables, figures, diagrams, line drawings or b/w photographs do you anticipate using? We cannot publish colour images.]Delivery[When can you deliver the completed manuscript of this book? Give the month and year. Please be realistic and build in some time for unforeseen events! Being realistic is better than being optimistic!]Market and competition[What other books have been published on this keyword/topic? Explain how your proposed book differs from the others in detail. Please provide the full bibliographic reference for these books. Pay particular attention to books aimed at a readership of teacher educators.Then, please explain what your book will contribute to the intended audience for this series. What will they gain from your book that they won’t from other books on the market? What will make your book distinctive and how will it be useful?This section should be a maximum of 500 words.]Suggested reviewers[Please suggest five people who could act as peer reviewers for this proposal.

For each potential reviewer, please provide name and title, institutional affiliation and a current email address.]Your details[Title, name and affiliation/job title together with your contact details (including postal address, email address and contact telephone number). Please do not provide us with any sensitive personal data.]Finally, is there anything else we need to know?[For example: Do you require the book to be made Open Access as part of our Bloomsbury Open programme (monographs and edited collections only)?

They will consider how it fits with our current publishing plans and the series before deciding to have it reviewed. If the proposal and any accompanying material goes out for external review it will be sent to a minimum of two anonymous reviewers. They will be asked to comment on the quality of the content and the potential audience of the proposed book. The length of the review process can vary depending on the project but we aim to have new proposals reviewed within three months. If the reviews are positive and there is evidence to support the need for the project, you will be asked to respond to the reviewers’ comments where needed. The next step is for your proposal to be presented to our Publishing Board where it will be reviewed internally. We must have the approval of our Board before we can offer a contract for a new project.For information on how we process your personal data, read our Privacy Policy.Further guidance for authors and more information about Bloomsbury’s Academic Publishing can be found here. ................
