NEW CALL FOR BOOK PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS:*CRITICAL DIGITAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA STUDIES*


/Critical Digital and Social Media Studies/ is a new book series edited by *Professor Christian Fuchs* on behalf of the Westminster Institute for Advanced Studies and published by the University of Westminster Press (UWP). We invite submissions of book proposals that fall into the scope of the series.


*CALL DETAILS*


After the publication of the first title in the series we invite submission of book proposals (adhering to the guidelines set out below) accompanied by one full chapter for books in the range of 35,000-80,000 words. The books in the series are published online in an open access format available online without payment using a Creative Commons licence (CC-BY-NC-ND) and simultaneously as affordable paperbacks.

We are able to publish a number of books in the call without any book processing charges thanks to generous support by the University of Westminster Library that covers these fees. Potential authors are welcome to contact the series editor outside of the initial time frame of this call for book proposals but should note that priority for funding support for suitable projects will be given to those proposals meeting the deadline.

We welcome submissions of a book outline proposal with (exactly one) sample chapter but only accept suggestions for books written in English.
