Publication consultancy
Our Founding Editor, Professor Constantine Sandis, has helped hundreds of academics worldwide win contracts with university presses and publishing houses, enabling promotion and tenure within competitive academic faculties. As Lex Academic’s Publication Consultant, Professor Sandis skilfully appraises book proposals for the likes of Routledge, Oxford University Press, and Palgrave Macmillan (amongst others), providing truly invaluable feedback on how to make your proposal as attractive as possible to your dream publisher.
Following consultation with Professor Sandis, we are able to collaboratively draft and edit your book proposal with your target publisher in mind. We have helped our clients obtain contracts with the biggest publishing houses, including Cambridge University Press and McFarland. We are especially experienced in transforming PhD theses into book manuscripts and pitching these to leading publishers.
