Kluwer dissertation publishing

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Info-CHILDES,
  I recently spoke with Michael Williams, the acquisitions editor for Kluwer
Academic Publishers.  We discussed several recent dissertations in child
language development published by Kluwer and I thought that child language
researchers who are in the process of considering publishing their
dissertations might find this press worth considering.  So I asked Michael to
compose a few words on their policy and the following is what he sent me.

--Brian MacWhinney



Kluwer Academic Publishers will consider dissertation- and thesis-based
monographs for publication.  Abstracts should be submitted with a proposed
table of contents, contact information for at least five independent
reviewers, and a completed Preliminary Book Information form (PBI,) which is
available by email from Kluwer.

Authors should secure the cooperation of their primary advisors, preferably
as a co-author, or as the author of a foreword.

Kluwer generally offers a royalty rate of 2% on net receipts of all copies
sold.  In addition, we provide  authors with three complimentary copies of
their work upon publication.

Mailing address for submissions is:

Michael Williams
Editor, Psychology
Kluwer Academic Publishers
101 Philip Dr., Assinippi Park
Norwell, MA 02061
