[ecrea] reminder: call for book proposals for the ECREA book series (DL 15/1/10)

CALL FOR (EDITED) BOOK PROPOSALS
FOR ECREA BOOK SERIES

The Series Editors of the European Communication Research and 
Education Association (ECREA) invite the submission of book proposals 
for the ECREA Book Series:

WHO is invited to submit?

A clear preference is given to edited volumes that provide an 
overview of the work of the ECREA membership. At the same time, a 
degree of openness towards non-ECREA members is also considered to 
add value to the Book Series. For this reason, at least 50% of the 
chapters need to originate from ECREA members (individual members, or 
members through an institutional membership). For the same reason, at 
least one of the editors needs to be an ECREA member.

WHAT are we seeking?

ECREA Book Series Publications need to have a very clear theme on 
which they focus and which needs to be related to the focal points of 
ECREA (as described in article 3 of the ECREA statutes - see the 
ECREA website http://www.ecrea.eu). Although the series is open to 
the wide diversity of disciplines and subjects present among ECREA 
members, editorial choices will also take into account the potential 
audience of a proposed book.

What is the deadline for submissions?

Proposals need to be sent to the series editors (by regular mail or 
email) before 15 January, 2010 (17:00 GMT).

WHO subsidises the publication?

Each year, ECREA subsidises one publication and its distribution to 
the membership (2nd year individual members and the coordinators of 
the institutional and associated institutional members). The ECREA 
Book Series editors will be in charge of selecting this publication. 
Their selection will be confirmed by a decision of the ECREA Executive Board.

Other publications may also be included in the ECREA Book Series. In 
this case, the editors will need to provide the necessary subsidies 
for the publication (not for the distribution) of the manuscript. 
ECREA will not subsidize the distribution of the book to the 
membership. The inclusion of the book in the ECREA Book Series will 
still be dependant upon the decision of the ECREA Book Series editors 
and the Executive Board.

A more detailed version of the procedure is available at the 'Members 
only' segment of the ECREA website (http://www.ecrea.eu).

HOW should one submit a proposal or manuscript?

A form to submit a book proposal is available at the 'Members only' 
segment of the ECREA website (http://www.ecrea.eu). Only this form 
can be used for submitting a book proposal.

TO WHOM should it be sent?

Book proposals and manuscripts can be sent by regular mail or e-mail 
(attachment in .rtf, or .pdf format) to:
