The Approval Process
​
A Liminality Press editor will receive proposals and make initial recommendations to the Press review panel. If the proposal has merit for the Press, the review panel will consider the proposal and contact the author to convey acceptance, rejection, or in some cases, invite re-submission with significant revision. This initial assessment can sometimes take several weeks. If the editor believes the proposed book is a good fit for the Press’s purpose, she or he may ask the author to provide more information or revise the proposal. Upon approval, the author will be contacted to discuss guidelines for next steps and timelines by a designated editor.
