IGRS BOOKS
2011 COMPETITION
Proposals are invited for the 2011 competition to publish in 'igrs books', a book series in Modern Languages (French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and comparative studies, in fields other than linguistics). The series is published by the Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies, University of London.
Proposals for monographs, conference volumes, or thematically-linked collections of essays, between 30,000 and 100,000 words in length, may be submitted for selection by the IGRS’s editorial committee, which is advised by a peer review committee of 36 senior academics in the field. Volumes should be written in English, with quotations cited in the original and in translation. Fiction and translations of works already published in other languages cannot be considered.
Authors/editors will be expected to submit sub-edited copy, prepared in accordance with guidelines supplied by the Institute, and to contribute a subvention of £1,000. The expectation is that authors will supply the full text approximately one year after acceptance of the proposal.
Proposals should be submitted 1 May 2011 to Professor Naomi Segal, Director of the IGRS, via email to [log in to unmask], and should comprise three files only, as follows:
§ The application form, available in pdf format. For an MS-Word version, please contact [log in to unmask].
§ The proposal, including a chapter-by-chapter synopsis, which should not exceed five A4-pages when printed out.
