Manuscript Submission Guidelines
Online Submissions Zubaan is a small independent publishing house with a gendered focus. We have three main lists - academic (with emphasis on the social sciences), fiction and Young Zubaan. The academic list consists of nearly 80% of our titles. Some of the areas of interest maybe broadly classified as: · Gender and Reproductive Health/Sexuality · Gender and Conflict · Gender and Architecture · Gender and Law · Gender and History/National Movement · Gender and Economics But we are open to other suggestions and ideas, as long as they are with a gendered focus. The other areas that are covered include · Fiction in translation, mostly novels and by women. But we also receive short stories · Readers on the Women's Movement/Feminism · Biographies/Autobiographies/Memoirs · We do not consider poetry manuscripts Young Zubaan Young Zubaan is a new list of books for teenagers and children in India. Our list celebrates diversity and difference, with books that will delight, inform and entertain. Young Zubaan believes that the first books that children read are the "key to the magic of the world". We are committed to maintaining the highest quality - in terms of illustrations, design and production values - because young readers deserve nothing less. How to submit First submissions should include a covering letter that should provide some brief information about yourself as the author/editor and your co-authors, where appropriate, including any details of previous publications. Plus, a synopsis of the work, a contents list with a short paragraph describing each chapter and a sample (fifty to sixty pages is usually enough). If the Zubaan editorial board is interested, you will be asked to send the entire manuscript. We prefer to receive hard copies, double-spaced and printed single side with the soft copy burnt on a CD. Remember to enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope for a reply from us. Please let us know if we can recycle your materials, and if so a regular envelope is fine. If you would like your stuff returned, please enclose an envelope of sufficient size, with sufficient postage. We will try to respond within two months of receiving your material. It may be quicker, but we can't promise anything. We do not accept submissions by fax or email.
