Why do I have to submit a proposal if you aren’t a traditional publisher?

ETC Press asks authors to submit a truncated version of book proposal for any new projects for two reasons.

The first is that our editorial board can better get a sense of your project so that we can best support you through the project together. The second is that it allows us to have a conversation with you not only about your project, but also the expectations we each have, so that we can make a more informed decision about whether to accept your book, and you can get the information you need to decide if we’re a good fit for your project.

We want to make sure your book finds the right home, and the proposal helps us all with those conversations.
