The University of South Carolina Press publishes works of original scholarship in the fields of history (American, African American, Southern, Civil War, Culinary, Maritime, and Women's), Regional Studies, Literature, Religious Studies, Rhetoric, and Social Work.

Projects submitted for consideration by the University of South Carolina Press should include the following:

1. A cover letter that briefly describes the work (scope, purpose, and length), explains how it differs from competing works, and assesses its likely readership.
2. If the work is a completed manuscript, a table of contents and representative chapter (not the entire manuscript); otherwise, a detailed prospectus.
3. A current curriculum vitae.
4. Before final approval for contract all projects will undergo rigorous, anonymous peer review and endorsement by the University of South Carolina Press Committee, made up of USC faculty members.
5. If you would like to have your prospectus and/or manuscript returned following the review process please be sure to make this request in writing at the time of submission and include a self-addressed stamped envelope.
