Call for Books and Book Proposals | Publish Your Scholarly Work with SPIDER Publishing

Have an Idea That Deserves to Become a Book? Share Your Knowledge with the World.

A valuable book can shape a student's understanding, inspire new research, inform public policy, and contribute to solving real-world problems. SPIDER Publishing invites academics, researchers, university teachers, and professionals to turn their knowledge and research into scholarly books that reach readers across disciplines and professional communities.

We welcome proposals for original, high-quality books that combine academic rigour, practical relevance, and intellectual contribution. Whether you are developing a textbook for university students, transforming your research into a scholarly monograph, coordinating an edited volume with contributions from multiple scholars, or writing a book that addresses an important policy challenge, we encourage you to submit your proposal for consideration.

What Types of Books Are We Looking For?

1. Textbooks for Undergraduate and Postgraduate Students

We welcome textbooks that support university-level teaching and learning, explain complex concepts clearly, and provide relevant theoretical and practical knowledge. Proposals may address established academic subjects as well as emerging areas of study.

2. Research Monographs

We invite original, research-driven books that offer substantial contributions to theory, empirical evidence, methodology, or specialised fields of knowledge. Doctoral research, extended research projects, and significant scholarly investigations may provide a foundation for a monograph, subject to originality and suitability.

3. Edited Volumes

We welcome proposals for carefully organised edited books that bring together multiple scholarly perspectives on a coherent theme. Proposals should identify the central research question, proposed contributors, chapter structure, and expected academic contribution.

4. Research Handbooks and Reference Books

We encourage proposals for comprehensive resources that support advanced study, professional development, research practice, and interdisciplinary learning. These may include methodological guides, specialised reference works, and subject-based handbooks.

5. Policy-Oriented and Professional Books

We particularly welcome books that connect academic knowledge with practical decision-making. Topics may include public policy, governance, public finance, taxation, economic development, sustainable industrialisation, climate resilience, agriculture, food security, digital transformation, and institutional reform.

Turn Your Knowledge into a Lasting Contribution

The most valuable scholarly books do more than communicate information. They develop understanding, challenge assumptions, support research, strengthen education, and help readers respond to the challenges of their time.
