Submit a Book Manuscript

We invite proposals of original and previously unpublished research in all fields of the humanities, and the social and political sciences relevant to the study of modern Israel.

Perspectives on Israel Studies Series (Indiana University Press)

Send a book prospectus rather than a full-length manuscript. This will allow us to quickly assess our interest in your work. Inform us if your manuscript is being considered simultaneously by another press. Manuscripts should be submitted in English.

Review Process

If we decide that your project is appropriate for the new series we will seek, at a minimum, two external reviews. To allow for careful consideration of a project, we give our readers six to eight weeks, on average, to complete their evaluation. The review process typically takes three to four months, depending on the nature of the project and the availability of reviewers. When reviews are received, the editor may ask for the author’s response. We make every effort to ensure that editorial decisions are made in a timely manner.
