Prospective Authors
Central European University Press is pleased to evaluate book proposals which suit the publishing program and the list of titles of the Press.
Proposals that clearly fall outside our subject areas will not be considered or acknowledged.
Book Proposal Submission Form
If you have a book proposal appropriate to our publishing program that you would like us to consider, we ask that you first submit a Publishing Proposal Form. You can either email it to Linda Kunos (kunosl@press.ceu.edu), or send it to CEU Press, H-1051 Budapest, Nádor u. 9, Hungary. The form can be downloaded by clicking on the link below

If we decide to pursue consideration of your project, we might request sample chapters or the full manuscript, if available, and send it to two outside reviewers. To allow for careful consideration, we give our readers six to eight weeks, on average, to complete their evaluation. Please bear in mind that the peer review process can be time-consuming, especially for highly specialized topics. We ask for your patience and understanding.
If the Press determines that the project is a strong candidate for publication, we will prepare a proposal for review and approval by the Press's Editorial Committee. The Editorial Committee meets once in two-three months. You will be notified shortly after the meeting regarding the committee's decision. We make every effort to ensure that editorial decisions are made in a timely manner.
Thank you for taking the time to follow our submission and review procedures. Should you require more information, please feel free to contact us.
Series Proposal Form
If you have an idea for a new series that you would like us to consider, please submit a Series Proposal Form. You can either email it to Linda Kunos (kunosl@press.ceu.edu), or send it to CEU Press, H-1051 Budapest, Nádor u. 9, Hungary. The form can be downloaded by clicking on the link below.
