Submissions
Hurst welcomes manuscript submissions via email. These should be sent to Michael Dwyer. Please bear in mind that Hurst publishes only non-fiction, and note the fields in which we specialise. The best way of doing this is by consulting our website.

Your submission should include the following:

• A synopsis or outline running to at least 5,000 words
• Your CV
• List of publications (where appropriate)
• Contents page of draft chapter titles
• Notes on competing works in the literature
• Details of photographs, illustrations, tables and other non-textual matter in the manuscript
• The book's proposed word length
• Proposed completion date of the manuscript


We will endeavour to respond to your email in a few working days but please bear with us if this is not the case.

Finally, do not send files full of illustrations and other pictorial material without consulting with us first as these may be rejected by our email server.

Vacancies
Hurst is always on the lookout for experienced freelance copyeditors and proofreaders, particularly those with a background in Islamic and Middle Eastern studies and African history and politics. Applicants must have experience of working on scholarly non-fiction books as well as those towards the ‘trade’ end of the spectrum. To apply, please send your CV, with details of any areas of expertise and any professional references, to the Executive Editor, Jonathan de Peyer.

Internships
Hurst does not currently offer internships. Please check the website regularly for future opportunities.
