Fisher King Press Submission Guidelines
- Fisher King Press publishes and
distributes the work of certified Jungian analysts concerning the study
of analytical psychology, myth, archetypal symbolism, and dreams. Occasionally we pubish
- We do not consider proposals with a view to turning them into books, nor do we consider theses, dissertations, essays, individual chapters, or proposals with a view to turning them into books.
- We make decisions only on completed (and preferably professionally edited) manuscripts. Rarely do we make recommendations as to content. The manuscript should be paginated in one continuous Microsoft word document (i.e., not within chapters). Good quality black and white copies of figures, photos and illustrations, should be provided as separate files – not embedded within the text. We do not print in color (except for the cover). For a clear understanding of our manuscript submissions requirements, visit our links page and download a pdf of the Fisher King Press Manuscript Preparation Guidelines.
- We favor manuscripts between 40–60,000 words in length. References should be included as endnotes or footnotes in accordance with the “Humanities style” as described in the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition. example: 1. Wendy Doniger, Splitting the Difference (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1999), 65.
- A Bibliography should be provided in accordance with the “Humanities style” as described in the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition. example: Doniger, Wendy. Splitting the Difference. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1999.
- If the manuscript is accepted, it is the author’s responsibility to secure permission to use substantial material from other copyrighted works (except for “fair use”—see The Chicago Manual of Style for guidelines).
- We contract to pay a royalty of 10% of the actual selling price of each copy sold, with no advance payment.
- To have your work considered, please send a brief description of your manuscript, the table of contents, the total word count of the entire manuscript, and the first chapter of your proposed work to: queries@fisherkingpress.com. Once we have received your information, we will be in contact with you.
- If, after reviewing your query, we ask for materials, your manuscript will need to be prepared according to the Fisher King Press Manuscript Preparation Guidelines. If your submission is incomplete, has not been properly edited, and/or does not meet the manuscript submissions criteria, it will not be forwarded to our review committee for consideration.
