Instructions for Submitting Manuscripts

If you would like the series to consider your manuscript for publication, submit it in both PDF (the original, unedited thesis) and Microsoft Word (anonymized, with all personal information removed) format to the appropriate editor: Dr. Benjamin Noonan for Old Testament manuscripts or Dr. John Harvey for New Testament manuscripts.

Upon receiving your manuscript, we will do an initial internal review and check with one of your dissertation/thesis readers to determine if it is a good fit for the series. If so, we will then send your manuscript to an external reviewer for a detailed evaluation. Finally, on the basis of this evaluation, we will let you know our decision to accept or decline your manuscript. The full review process can take approximately six months.
