The Pioneer River Press publishes scholarly works of intellectual distinction and significance, works that will contribute to improving the quality of higher education, and works of general and regional interest and of lasting value. The Pioneer River Press by definition is a small press with the intent of publishing no more than three books a year in order to provide authors with specialized guidance and support.
The Pioneer River Press Book Review Committee shall be an institutional standing committee composed of Pioneer River Press staff and other members as appointed by the President.
The Pioneer River Press Book Review Committee will meet on an annual
basis in December to ensure that submitted manuscripts align with the
mission of Indian River Community College. The Pioneer River Press Book
Review Committee reserves the right to review, accept or reject any
proposed submission and will make recommendations to the IRCC District
Board of Trustees for final action.
- The Review Committee has already selected the Press's three projects
for 2008 and they will not meet again to make selections for 2009
until December 2008. If this schedule conflicts with your timetable
for publication, you may want to investigate the capabilities of an
alternative press. We do respect your hard work and do not wish to
misrepresent the situation, causing you to delay moving forward with
publication.
We are not accepting any new submissions
until November 2008.
Projects submitted for consideration by the Pioneer River Press should include the following:
- A cover letter that briefly describes the work (scope, purpose, and length), explains how it differs from competing works, and assesses its likely readership.
- If the work is a completed manuscript, a table of contents and representative chapter (not the entire manuscript); otherwise, a detailed prospectus.
- A current curriculum vitae of the author(s).
Submissions should be e-mailed to: adecker@ircc.edu or sent to:
Pioneer River Press
3209 Virginia Avenue
Fort Pierce, FL 34981-5596
772-462-4786
It is recommended that sole original copies of any manuscripts not be submitted, as the Press is not responsible for their return.
