See what a successful academic book proposal looks like before you write your own.

This digital download includes a real book proposal written by Dr. Nicholas D. Hartlep that was accepted by Routledge and later connected to an award-winning book project. Rather than starting from a blank page, you will be able to study the structure, language, framing, and scholarly positioning of a proposal that worked.

This resource is designed for professors, graduate students, researchers, independent scholars, and aspiring academic authors who want to understand how to present a book idea to a serious academic publisher.

Inside, you will see how an accepted proposal frames the book’s purpose, audience, market, contribution, chapter structure, and author credibility. Use it as a model, guide, and source of inspiration as you develop your own proposal.

Best for:

Professors
Doctoral students
Graduate students
Independent scholars
First-time academic book authors
Scholars turning a dissertation into a book
