For Prospective Authors
The Westview Press editorial staff would be happy to consider proposals for books which are appropriate for course adoption in college and university classrooms— including topical books, edited volumes, anthologies/readers, and textbooks. Westview's primary market is undergraduate courses; some of our books also have a market in graduate or high school level courses. For this reason, almost all of our authors are academics who are actively teaching at an institution of higher learning in the United States, with only rare exceptions. Westview does not publish scholarly monographs or books intended primarily for general readers. For this reason, a crucial part of a book proposal is the description of the course market, and how the proposed book compares and contrasts with books currently used in that course.
For our guidelines for submitting a proposal, click [HERE]. Please read them carefully and adhere to their suggestions. Submit proposals to westview.bookproposal@perseusbooks.com. Please note that, due to the volume of submissions, we cannot respond to every proposal. If your proposal fits Westview's publishing needs, we will contact you to discuss the next steps in the process.
Thank you for considering Westview Press as a possible publisher for your work.

Description
It can feel like we're swimming in a sea of corruption, confused by who exactly is in charge and what role they play. The same influential people reappear time after time in different professional guises, pressing their own agendas in one venue after another. These are the powerful 'shadow elite,' the main players in a vexing new system of power and influence.In her profoundly original Shadow Elite, award-winning public policy scholar and anthropologist Janine R. Wedel gives us the tools we need to recognize these powerful yet elusive figures and to comprehend the new system. Nothing less than our freedom and our ability to self-govern is at stake.
