How to Submit a Manuscript Proposal
We publish titles in: Latin American studies, Russian and East European studies, international relations, poetry, Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania regional studies, environmental studies, architecture and landscape history, urban studies, composition and literacy, the history of science and the philosophy of science. We do not publish in the hard sciences, nor do we publish memoirs or fiction.
We welcome unsolicited manuscript submissions appropriate to our list.
Poetry submissions must follow a different set of guidelines, found here.
Please download and fill out our Manuscript Inquiry Form and email it to the attention of the appropriate editor. Or send us a letter of inquiry that describes:
. The subject and contribution of your book;
. The approach you have taken
. The intended audience (scholars, students, the general public?). If the book is appropriate for course use, please discuss the kinds of courses and level (undergraduate, upper-level undergraduate, graduate);
. Your qualifications to undertake the project.
Please include an updated curriculum vitae, an outline or table of contents, and a sample chapter, if available. (It's best not to send the complete manuscript when first contacting us.) If the manuscript is not yet finished, include a projected timetable, an estimate of final length and the number of illustrations, if any.
Submit your inquiry directly to the appropriate acquisitions editor (see below), University of Pittsburgh Press, Eureka Building, Fifth Floor, 3400 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 15260.
