Past experience has shown that a book prospectus is the best way for Prufrock’s staff to review an author’s idea for a new publication. For this reason, Prufrock Press does not consider unsolicited manuscripts. The Book Prospectus Guidelines offer clear instructions for developing a prospectus for Prufrock. Please follow these guidelines carefully before submitting your prospectus to Prufrock. Begin downloading our “Book Prospectus Guidelines” document by clicking this link: Book Prospectus Guidelines.

If your prospectus is accepted for publication, please download our Author Information Packet. In this packet, authors will find information about communicating with their assigned editor, the editorial process, and manuscript preparation guidelines.
