Dear tripleC-Readers,

  **NEW 2018 CALL FOR BOOK PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS: CRITICAL DIGITAL AND SOCIAL
MEDIA STUDIES**

Critical Digital and Social Media Studies is an established book series
edited by Professor Christian Fuchs on behalf of the Westminster Institute
for Advanced Studies and published by the University of Westminster Press
(UWP). We invite submissions of book proposals that fall into the scope of
the series.

**Submission Deadline: Monday 12 February 2017 23:00 BST**
by e-mail to Andrew Lockett (University of Westminster Press Manager) at
A.Lockett at westminster.ac.uk

CALL DETAILS
After the publication of five titles in the series we invite submission of
book proposals (adhering to the guidelines set out below) as one document
with one full chapter for books in the range of 35,000-80,000 words. The
books in the series are published online in an open access format available
online without payment using a Creative Commons licence (CC-BY-NC-ND) and
simultaneously as affordable paperbacks. We are able to publish a number of
books in the call without any book processing charges thanks to generous
support by the University of Westminster that covers these fees. Potential
authors are welcome to contact the series editor outside of the initial time
frame of this call for book proposals but should note that priority for
funding support for suitable projects will be given to those proposals
meeting the deadline. There is a preference for the submission of proposals
for books whose writing can be finished and that can be submitted to UWP
within the next 6-15 months. In the event of a surplus of strong proposals
preference will be given to single-authored book proposals over edited
volumes.

We welcome submissions of a book outline proposal with (exactly one) sample
chapter submitted as one single Word or PDF document. We can only accept
suggestions for books written in English.
