Ethics Press is inviting proposals for scholarly books and edited collections in Humanities and Social Sciences, and broader related fields including Life Sciences and Health Sciences. We specialise in books for the academic market. You can download a Book Proposal Form, and see our Notes of Guidance for Authors here.
Suitable proposals will be independently reviewed, and we require a completed proposal form, a sample of the proposed book, if available, and a cv. If you are unsure whether a proposal is likely to be selected for review, you are welcome to send a summary or abstract first.
Our books are published in English, initially in academic hardback and eBook format, with a paperback version released later. The books we select range from 50,000 words to around 150,000 words. We make no charges to publish.
If you are interested in writing for us, please take a few minutes to look at our website; particularly our detailed guidelines for authors, our royalty policies, and our current and forthcoming book titles in our Bookshop. Subject coverage includes:
- Philosophy, religion and faith, ethics and morality
