Proposals can be submitted to the series editor on j.lees-marshment@auckland.ac.nz at any time. We recommend you read the full guidelines for the series, and get in touch with the series editor in advance of completing the proposal to discuss ideas first.

All books must:

  • be between 25,000 and 50,000 words.
    • so this requires shorter pieces, avoiding long detailed references, and a tightly focused topic choice.
  • be empirical not just theoretical.
  • have recommendations for practice derived from the academic research.

And we encourage books to:

  • include other practitioner elements such as those noted in the section on format.
  • include international material or relate work to international trends.

Please use the Political Marketing & Management book series Palgrave Pivot proposal form.
