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.

sample chapter but only accept suggestions for books written in English.

media; new developments of critical theory in the age of digital and
