Contributed Volumes and Journals

5.01 Editor’s Responsibility

Volume editors are responsible for:

• reviewing the manuscript before submitting it to the Press to verify that all contributors have adhered to these guidelines;
• collecting signed contributor agreements;
• compiling contributors’ biographies;
• gathering complete and accurate contact information for all contributors;
• compiling permissions information for copyrighted and previously published material.

Manuscript

5.02 Consistency of Preparation

Pay close attention to consistency throughout the volume. Be sure that the contributors have all used the same note and citation style and that key terms used throughout the collection are treated the same.

5.03 No Bibliography

Do not compile a general bibliography that applies to the entire book.

5.04 Original Manuscript only

If chapters have been previously published, do not submit a photocopy of the original publication as part of the manuscript. The text must be keyboarded and printed in manuscript form, following the style of the entire book.

Contributor Agreements

5.05 Signatures for All

All of the contributor agreements supplied by your editor’s assistant must be returned with the final manuscript. Have your contributors sign the agreement and return it to you—not directly to the Press.

Biographies

5.06 Compile as Manuscript

Compile the biographies submitted by the contributors into a single word processing document. The biographies should be placed in alphabetical order by the contributor’s last name.

5.07 Biography Components

The biographies should be brief and include only the contributors’ rank, affiliation, and previous book publications. See section 2.43 of this manual for examples.

Contributor Permissions

5.08 Forms

The contributor agreements include a place for contributors to indicate if an essay or a portion of an essay has been previously published and if it requires permission to reprint. Any poetry, song lyrics, or illustrations that appear in the essay and require permission to reprint should be included on this form as well. Contributors should refer to chapter 4 of this guide for clarification on what material requires permission and for instructions on how to secure permission.

5.09 Review and Compile Forms

Review these forms once the contributors have completed them and compile a list of all previously published material into one word processing document. Include complete bibliographic information for the original publications:

An earlier version of chapter 2 previously appeared as “Alllooksame? Mediating Asian American Visual Cultures of Race on the Web,” Dave Shilpa, Leilani Nishime, and Tasha Oren, eds. East Main Street: Asian American Popular Culture (New York: New York University Press, 2005), 254-83; reprinted with permission.

Sections of chapters 3 and 5 were published as “Testimonies of Loss and Memory: Partition and the Haunting of a Nation,” Interventions: An International Journal of Postcolonial Studies 1, no. 2 (1999): 201-16.

5.10 Forward Grants of Permission

Be sure to enclose the letters granting permission with the final manuscript.

Contributor Contact Information

5.11 Address, Phone, Email, Fax

Include a list of all contributors’ preferred mailing addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses. Verify with the contributors that they are able to accept FedEx packages at these addresses.

5.12 Changes of Address

Ask contributors to notify you of any address changes (including temporary ones), and promptly send any changes or updates of this information to the Press during the book’s production.
