We encourage submission of hard copy proposals through regular mail rather than as e-mail attachments. Please allow three to four weeks for a response and make sure to enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope for this purpose. If you'd like any materials returned to you, please make sure the envelope is large enough to accommodate them. Of course, if you provide us with an e-mail address when you send in your proposal, we will be able to respond to you more quickly. Finally, please be
advised
that we
no longer publish fiction or poetry. |

Here's
what authors have said about Rutgers University Press:
|
||
|
"The professionalism
of the Rutgers book team has made them a joy to work with. While
many—but not all—publishers of today treat authors as little more than
vendors, we have been accorded thoughtfulness and respect. In a world
where mediocrity, speed, and the "bottom line" have seemingly banished
the striving for genuine quality, Rutgers University Press is like a
breath of fresh air. Moreover, the end result of the team's efforts
will make us look far better as writers than we really are."—Chris
Maser, author of Trees,
Truffles, and Beasts (2008)
