  • a short overview of the book's main theme(s)
  • a list of contents and/or a short paragraph on each chapter/section
  • some background on author and/or contributors
  • some information about what you perceive as the main markets for the book
  • information about any competing titles (already published or forthcoming) of which you're aware
  • your intended writing timetable

Please limit your proposal to ten pages – and please do not send complete manuscripts.
