About the Press
For over a century, Teachers College Press has been committed to addressing
the ideas that matter most to educators. Today, our publishing program carries
on this tradition and seeks to open and expand the dialogue between theory
and practice by:
- Looking at education, learning, and teaching in diverse ways
- Exploring the tension between the academy and the public school
- Challenging assumptions that devalue the quality of the educational experience
at all levels of schooling
- Providing substantive resources for all of the participants in the education
process (teachers, teacher educators, researchers, academics, administrators,
school board members, policy makers, parents and students)
Our list of publications includes books and materials of interest in all areas of education from infant/toddler to adult learning. We also publish works in related subjects like psychology, sociology and culture, history, philosophy, and women's studies. Our authors include seasoned practitioners and scholars as well as fresh new talent from around the world.
Many of our books cross disciplinary boundaries in ways that are always of interest and frequently provocative. Though sometimes controversial, our publishing decisions are supported by grounded research and reviewed by authorities in the field. Through our series editors, editorial advisory boards, and peer reviewers, we strive to ensure that what we publish deserves our readers' attention and contributes to deepening the understanding and improvement of the practice of education. We invite you to browse our catalog and series to see the breadth and depth of our offerings.

Manuscript Submission Guidelines
If you would like to submit your manuscript to TC press, please send the following in duplicate to:
Acquisitions Dept., Teachers College Press, 1234 Amsterdam Avenue, New York, NY 10027.
- Send a prospectus describing the scope, content, length, audience, and competition for the book.
- Include a table of contents and a detailed chapter by chapter outline, including back matter such as appendices, bibliographies, and the like.
Include information about your marketing platform and activities, both current and planned, to promote the book to its readership.
- Indicate if there is to be art or tabular material and describe its nature and length; indicate if your manuscript will have permissions and releases and to what extent.
- If possible, include the introduction and one or two sample chapters. If you do include the entire manuscript, please indicate in your cover letter the three chapters that you feel are most representative of your book idea as a whole.
- Include a list of eight to ten qualified potential reviewers for us to consider, in case your project enters our peer review process. This is an important and necessary step before we contract any book at Teachers College Press.
- Include a resume.
General Guidelines:
All manuscripts must be typed double space, on one side only, on quality white paper with one-inch margins on all sides. For correct punctuation, capitalization, organization of material, usage and the like, we recommend the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition). Particular care must be taken with footnotes and bibliographies. In general follow the APA author-date style described in their manual.
If you would like to email your files, please query the appropriate acquisitions editor for your subject area. Editors’ email contact information may be found above.
The Press does not publish dissertations per se; the requirements for an academic dissertation are quite different from that of a university press. Consult The Thesis and the Book, edited by Harman and Montagnes (University of Toronto Press, 1976) or Handbook for Academic Authors, Third Edition, by Beth Luey (Cambridge University Press, 1995) if you wish to revise your work.
