Editing is done at MacDiv, while typesetting, book production and marketing are handled by Wipf & Stock Publishers.

The level of manuscript that the Press is interested in would be aimed at the advanced undergraduate level and beyond. We are also interested in publishing serious books aimed at those in ministry. Manuscripts should include such features as particularly new or detailed analysis of the data or a new and noteworthy way of presenting the material.

Authors are requested to make a preliminary enquiry before sending a manuscript, including the following information:

a. Working Title
b. 100-300 word description of the book
c. Proposed table of contents
d. Sample chapter or section (if available)
e. Estimated length of the book
f. Estimated date the manuscript would be ready
g. Intended audience for the book
h. Author’s CV (employment, degrees, publications, contact info)

If the Press is interested in exploring further the publication of this book, the author will be asked to submit two hard copies of the full manuscript to the Managing Editor. Terms of publication will be discussed with the author at this point.

Manuscripts submitted for consideration are expected to conform to the Author Guide of Wipf and Stock. They will be reviewed by the editorial board before a decision is taken whether to accept them for publication or not. Accepted manuscripts would then need to be submitted in electronic form by email.
