Dear professor,
Publishing is the surest way to advance your academic career.
But it has never been easy, less so lately.
Securing a grant from your institution is already difficult, traditional academic publishing houses have become impersonal institutions, and resorting to a «vanity press» is no option, as peer review is a must to produce a serious edition and secure your grant.
For the past 21 years STOCKCERO has built a highly regarded catalog and a solid reputation of publishing excellence, based upon the many academics who have trusted us their manuscripts.
So, if you feel it is time to start thinking about publishing your
- Academic Monograph
- Dissertation or thesis
- Collection of essays
- or any other type of scholarly publication on History and Literary Criticism, and Literary and Cultural Studies about Latin America and Spain
Follow these simple steps to propose a new book:
First please carefully read our Guidelines for Authors
to make sure your manuscript complies to our formal standards.
Or if your project is a Critical Edition, please refer to our Guidelines for Literary Editors.
Next send an email to pagrest@stockcero.com including:
- A list of other editions which might compete, and a brief argument demonstrating why the proposed work will, despite competition, be of value to libraries and scholars.
Table of Contents
- Introduction for the work
- A sample chapter.
- A survey of the market for the book: who will read it, and why they would want to buy it.
- The approximate number of words of the book, including all end-matter such as appendixes, bibliographies, and indexes. The number of photographs required.
- Your Curriculum Vitae
Which are the following steps, and how long will it take?
- You will receive either an initial expression of interest or a rejection within two to four weeks.
- This is the letter you need to secure the grant from your Institution.
- With the grant secured we expect to receive your manuscript within the following 90 days.
- The next step is the review process when outside reviewers evaluate your manuscript. This may take from one to three months.
- If the reviewers recommend publication and the Publishing Advisory Committee approves the manuscript, we start the publishing procedure:
- An editor will work with you to make sure that it meets exactly Stockcero's formal standards (see Guidelines for Authors). This process should take no more than two weeks.
- The last step, layout, and production, generally takes three weeks.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
