Recommendations for Book Manuscripts

We focus on topics of recent European history, but are open for other topics, as long as it is non-fiction. We are generally prepared to publish everything which is controversial/"hot" and which others do not want to publish. One condition is that no laws of the USA and England are violated as well as that the manuscript has a minimum standard of originality and quality. All our books are of scholarly nature, which means that all claims made must be backed up with sources. Additionally, please keep in mind that we are a small publishers with books in small print runs. As a consequence, we cannot afford to spend too much time with editing manuscript, because if we invest lots of time, it would be impossible for us to cover the costs involved from sales of this book. We therefore have to insist in a minimum standard of the manuscript's technical features:

• File in Microsoft Word format (*.doc, *.rtf, Word 97 or later).

• Claims backed up with sources given in foot- or endnotes (by using Word's foot-/endnote function)

• Using Word's table function to create tables

• Compilation of a bibliography of works quoted (and/or of further reading material)

• Inclusion of a list of names to be included in an index of names.

• Inclusion of illustrations in reproducible quality or already scanned in reproducible quality 

We are happy to help you to improve your manuscript to the point where we can take over. chp@vho.org

Requirements for the Publication of Articles in The Revisionist

Topics: History, especially modern history; also freedom of speech and freedom of science. If possible, new and hitherto unpublished reports, overviews, and research papers;

Style: Systematic structure; objective; backing up of factual statements with references; separation of opinion from factual statements.

External Requirements: For understandable reasons, we will also publish articles written under a pen name, which will, of course, be treated as highly confidential. Contributions sent in anonymously, which are also welcome, can only be published if their content is ready for print.

There is no restriction regarding the length of contributions. However, contributions which exceed 10 pages of our journal (some 50,000 characters or 9,000 words), may be split in several parts and published in consecutive issues. In such cases, the structuring of articles should allow such a partition.

Articles of two pages and more should include illustrations to break up the text (covers of works dealt with, document facsimiles, portraits of personalities and authors, pictures of historical events, maps, etc.).

Procedure: Except for articles sent in anonymously, proofs of all articles considered for publications will be sent to the authors; no right for publication arises from this. The editors reserve their right to determine in which issue such articles will be published. Royalties are paid only in case the author(s) suffer under social and/or legal persecution for expressing her/his opinions. Authors receive only one proof copy. If expressively wished, we can send up to five proof copies.

Data: We prefer to receive contributions per email. We can process various data carriers (PC, 3.5"/1.44MB, and ZIP/100 or 250 MB, CD ROM). The file formats of all major type-setting and DTP programs can be read; for reasons of portability, file formats of *.rtf (Rich Text Format), *.html (HyperTextMarkupLanguage, i.e., Internet files) and MS-Word files are preferred. Please do not send manuscripts by fax, as this renders optical character recognition almost impossible. Images can be sent in all usual data formats (*.gif, *.jpg, *.png, *.tif...) and also as hard copies.

3.5" floppy disks as well as unsolicited manuscripts will not be sent back; solicited manuscript as well as image hard copy only if expressively desired.
