Want to be the author of a geology book?

Author Sought

I have received the following from Alison Brown, Commissioning Editor for the Crowood Press:-

Dear Mr Churchard,

 

Please allow me to introduce myself as the Commissioning Editor at The Crowood Press with responsibility for the geology list of books.  We publish the best-selling book ‘ The Geology of Britain – An Introduction’ by Peter Toghill.

We are looking to commission some new regional geology titles for the list and one of these is ‘Geology of the West Country’.

 

I note that you have a blog ‘Geology in the West Country’ and so I wondered if you might possibly be able to suggest some suitable people for me to approach to write this.

 

We are looking for 40,000-50,000 words and 150-250 illustrations/photographs. The target audience is people with an interest in geology, including undergraduates, but we would not target the book specifically at the academic market.

I am happy to work with any potential authors to develop the scope of the content.

I would be very grateful for any assistance you could provide.

Yours sincerely

Alison
