All publication projects sent to the ADA Books Publishing Team for consideration undergo a preliminary review process. This review includes a peer review and market analysis. Reviewers are asked to comment on the title’s topic, coverage, and marketability. The information requested here helps reviewers make an informed decision.
In addition to answering the questions, please attach a table of contents or topical outline. If possible, include a copy of a representative chapter as well.
