Durham Modern Language Series

[HARRINGTON A.K.]

Dear SEELANGERS

Please see below a message regarding the Durham Modern Language Series,
which will be published by Manchester University Press as of this
autumn, and which may be of interest to anyone wishing to find a
suitable publisher for their work.

All best
Alex

DURHAM MODERN LANGUAGES SERIES is a well-established academic press
based in the School of Modern Languages & Cultures at Durham University,
publishing high-quality monographs, collective volumes and editions in
Hispanic, French, German, Slavonic/Russian and Arabic studies. Details
of our existing titles can be found at http://www.dur.ac.uk/mlac/dmls/.
 
As from autumn 2009, the Series will be published by Manchester
University Press. Commissioning and editing of new titles will continue
to be done at Durham, but MUP will now handle production, marketing and
sales. We'll publish a small number of titles (probably 4 per year),
which will allow us to devote careful attention to each one while
benefiting from the size and expertise of MUP . The scope of the Series
is defined by the six language areas in which teaching and research are
carried out in the School of Modern Languages & Cultures at Durham
(Arabic, French, German, Hispanic Studies, Italian and Russian) and is
intended to reflect the range of research interests in the School:
literature from the Middle Ages to the present, cultural and
intellectual history, critical and cultural theory, film and other
visual culture, theatre and performance, gender and sexuality, language
and rhetoric, translation and interpreting.
 
Publication proposals are invited from researchers working in any of the
fields listed above with reference to Russian and other Slavonic
languages or cultures. We are particularly keen to publish original
research monographs, but will also welcome proposals for well-focused
volumes of essays or for scholarly editions. We'll respond promptly to
all proposals and ensure that the titles we select proceed swiftly to
publication.
 
If you have a book completed or nearing completion, please download a
Proposal Form from http://www.dur.ac.uk/mlac/dmls/publish/,  complete as
much of it as you can at this stage, and e-mail it to me together with a
sample chapter. We'll carry out a preliminary evaluation and give you a
quick decision on whether we invite you to submit the full text for peer
review. I look forward to receiving exciting proposals.
 
Best wishes,
Mike Thompson
