Proposal for Minibook

Written by leading practitioners and researchers, Minibooks provide new ideas and insights into aspects of language and literacy teaching and learning.

Guidelines

Written by leading practitioners and researchers, Minibooks provide new ideas and insights into aspects of language and literacy
teaching and learning. They aim to foster further enquiry and study by teachers, students and all those who work with children.

The subjects of Minibooks need to have general appeal.
They should be no more than 10,000 words or equivalent, including diagrams, illustrations and figures.

Timings

You may like to take into account that the approximate proposal and production timeline is:

  • Time from receipt of proposal to reviewers’ comments: 1-2 months.
  • On receipt of first draft: draft reviewed and returned to authors within 6 weeks. *
  • On receipt of final draft: Editor’s responses within 4 weeks to be returned within 4 weeks.
  • Proof manuscript from printers: between 6-8 weeks later.
  • Author’s proofreading: within 2 weeks.
  • Publication date: approximately 6-8 weeks later.
  • The whole process will take about a year.

*If a second draft is necessary before final draft this will extend the process by 6-8 weeks.

Please send proposals by email to: p.a.manford@open.ac.uk

Step 1 of 2

Minibooks are written for busy professionals who want practical ways forward as well as a coherent theoretical perspective to enrich their classroom practice.

Please take as much space as you need. It helps if there is a short paragraph for each chapter. Provide a brief overview and outline of the proposed book, giving the title, chapter headings, content and approximate word limit of each chapter. (The upper word limit for a whole Minibook is 10,000 words.). Please also include indication of any illustrative material.
