The LSU Press acquisitions team is always looking for good books. Because we have discontinued the regular publication of original fiction and have filled our poetry program with titles beyond the year 2002, we are not currently considering manuscripts in these areas. Proposals should include a cover letter, table of contents, sample chapters, marketing ideas, information about competitive titles, and a resume or curriculum vitae. Give as much information as possible without sending the entire manuscript.
Brevity is appreciated.
Enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope if you would like to have your sample materials returned to you. Please note that LSU Press does not accept submissions sent by e-mail. Send photocopies of any illustrations you would like to submit. Do not send a computer disk during the consideration process, as you may be asked to revise your work. Initially the manuscript will be considered in-house.
