The ASM, in association with Orbis Books, publishes a series of monographs on critical issues and emerging themes in mission studies.
Authors wishing their manuscripts to be considered for the ASM Series must first submit a proposal containing a one page description of the topic, a table of contents, and a letter explaining the relevance and importance of the study to the ASM Series Committee Chair, Robert Hunt ([email protected]). These will be evaluated by the Chair and at least two members of the committee.
Manuscript proposals will be evaluated on the basis of their academic merits, reach of their potential readership, uniqueness of subject matter, and possibilities for adaptation as a textbook in missiology courses among other things. A complete list of the evaluation rubrics can be obtained from the ASM Series Committee Chair.
If the topic and scope of the manuscript is deemed of interest and appropriate to the series, the Chair will forward the review comments and information to Orbis, which will make a final decision on publication and will correspond directly with the author concerning the complete manuscript and editing.
Correspondence regarding submitting manuscripts for review should be addressed to [email protected]. If email is not possible, then paper proposals may be mailed to: Robert Hunt, P.O. Box 750133, Dallas, TX 75275-0133. The other members of the ASM Series Editorial Committee are Robert Gallagher, Kristopher W. Seaman, Brian Froehle, Peter Vethanyagamony, and Lisa Beth White.
