GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS We request that authors submit book proposals rather than a full manuscript for review. Authors should first familiarize themselves with MNMP titles in order to determine the suitability of their projects to the Museum Press. A proposal should include a query letter describing the subject of the book and the approach taken. Questions to address in the letter include:
What are the unique features? How does it compare to other books on the same or similar topics? Who is the audience? Why will people buy it? Why is it appropriate for the Museum of New Mexico Press? How long is the manuscript (how many words)? If an illustrated work, what kind and how many? Is the book intended to supplement or accompany a museum collection or exhibit or is it tied to another event?
Please include a resume or vita, a table of contents, and a sample
chapter and samples of artwork (if an illustrated project).
Also include information on previously published books
(title, publisher, year). Address proposals to:
