Submissions
Planetizen Press accepts manuscripts for consideration from authors and opinion leaders. We favor manuscripts that are near completion on the subjects Planetizen covers on a regular basis:
- Urban and regional planning and land use
- Transportation and transit
- Environmental issues
- Energy and infrastructure
- Historic preservation
- Landscape architecture
- Urban planning technology
- Planning-related humor
We are open to ideas ranging from extended academic papers to popular non-fiction, like The Tipping Point. Our goal is to encourage debate and spread knowledge of the concepts and goals of urban planning. However, we are primarily interested in near-finished manuscripts. We are not seeking to develop books with authors from scratch.
Planetizen works with authors to develop their content, arranges printing and publication, and manages e-commerce and distribution.
