Submitting your proposal


Whether you want to write a full-length book or a short booklet, your book proposal defines the goals for your project and should be detailed enough to help you structure and write your manuscript. Your proposal needs to reflect your thorough planning of the topics and the types of information that you want to present. Because your proposal will be reviewed by a team of experts in the field, it's important that you present it in such a way that others understand it and see its potential as clearly as you do. Click here for tips on Writing a Great SAS Press Proposal.

A complete proposal includes these items:

Author's Questionnaire

The answers you give to our questions about you and your book idea help the review team evaluate your proposal accurately and thoroughly. Please contact us at saspress@sas.com for a Microsoft Word version of the questionnaire.

Information Release Agreement

You must include a signed copy of the Information Release Agreement with your proposal. We cannot evaluate your book proposal until we receive a signed Information Release Agreement.

Outline

The reviewers of your proposal will use the Author's Questionnaire and your outline to understand the content of your proposed book. For this reason, your outline needs to be as complete and as detailed as possible. In your outline, please:

Sample Chapter

Your sample chapter allows us to review the technical content and level of detail covered in your book, as well as your overall tone and writing style.

Resume

Please include a copy of your current resume or CV.


Please email your proposal to saspress@sas.com or fax it to (919)677-4444, Attn: SAS Press.
