We would also like to know:
- why you wrote, or plan to write, your book, e.g.,
its timeliness, unique perspective, special marketing possibilities,
the gap it fills, etc.
- the audience you hope to reach, e.g., popular, professional,
academic, clergy, laity, study groups, etc.
- how your book will fit into Orbis's program which
addresses the global dimensions of Christianity, with special stress
on the experience and perspective of the poor. Orbis publishes in
such areas as Third World and contextual theologies, interreligious
dialogue, spirituality, and contemporary social concerns (Please
note: Orbis does not publish fiction, poetry, or juvenile books.)
- why you think Orbis would be the best publisher for
your book
- your qualifications for writing your book
- if there are competing books in the same field
and, if so, how your book will differ from these
Please also include a copy of the table of contents
and a sample chapter or two, if available. (Please send copies only;
we cannot return material submitted.)
