Get ready to publish a book
Whether you are looking to write a book, read our ethics guidelines, find out about your rights as an author or learn about editing a book series, we are here to help.
Prepare to submit your book proposal
Be realistic about proposed delivery dates.
Set realistic deadlines for any contributors. We suggest an extra 6-8 weeks ahead of your manuscript submission deadline.
A typical word count for an academic monograph is around 80,000 words, or 20-50,000 words for Emerald Points titles and exceeding these may impact pricing and marketing your book.
Provide a list of possible external peer reviewers in your form. Reviewers should be based at a different institution and, if your book is an adaptation of your thesis, they cannot be one of your PhD supervisors.
You are welcome to submit a sample draft chapter with your proposal and we can provide you with some helpful feedback.

Everyone with whom I worked at Emerald from the senior editor to marketing was highly professional. The copy edits were done in a timely manner and the cover design exceeded expectations. I hope to work with Emerald again on future books.
