Guidelines for Monograph and Composer Series proposals

1.  The subject matter should be of interest and value to the profession;
    it should extend the knowledge of choral conductors;
    it should make a scholarly contribution to the literature about choral music.

2.  The topic may be specific or broad, but not so narrow as to appeal to
only a handful of specialists or so general as to be common knowledge.

3.  The topic should be clearly described and delineated in the following format:
    a.  a statement of purpose
    b.  a statement of the need for the study
    c.  a review of related literature
    d.  an outline of contents
    e.  a sample chapter or two
    f.  a bibliography.

4.  The monograph proposal should be submitted in triplicate (or more as
requested) to the Research and Publications Committee Chair, to be
distributed to the Chair of the Monographs Subcommittee and others as needed.
