Ecocritical Theory and Practice, a book series published by Bloomsbury Academic, is seeking proposals for books at the interface of literary/cultural studies and the environment. More than 100 books have already appeared in the series.

To propose a book for Ecocritical Theory and Practice, please complete this form and submit it to General Editor Douglas Vakoch (dvakoch@meti.org) and Senior Acquisitions Editor Courtney Morales (Courtney.Morales@bloomsbury.com). Please include your CV, as well as a sample chapter. If you do not have a sample chapter for the book, please include a previous writing sample written in the same style that you envision for the book.

On the form, list the highest degree for each author, editor, and chapter author. Authors and editors should have already completed their PhDs. For edited volumes, all chapters should have at least one author who has already completed their PhD. 

Books in this series include only original content, and no materials should be previously published.

Works that explore environmental issues through literatures, oral traditions, and cultural/media practices around the world are welcome. The series features books by established ecocritics that examine the intersection of theory and practice, including both monographs and edited volumes. Contemporary and historical works are equally appropriate.

Proposals are invited in the range of topics covered by ecocriticism, including but not limited to works informed by

• cross-cultural and transnational approaches
• postcolonial studies
• ecofeminism
• ecospirituality, ecotheology, and religious studies
• film/media and visual cultural studies
