We welcome proposals for submissions to our book series. In the first instance, please contact the series co-editors directly – Rachael Kiddey (rk716 – at – cam.ac.uk) or Bill Caraher (billcaraher – at – gmail.com) – to discuss your idea for a monograph, edited volume, or trans-media publication and find out more about the route to publication. We look forward to hearing from you!
