The Bloomsbury | Inclusive Histories: Thesis to Book

Bloomsbury Academic and the Institute of Historical Research work together on an Inclusive Histories partnership that seeks to improve the publishing opportunities available for early-career history researchers from a diverse range of backgrounds. This annual initiative supports recent PHD students, from anywhere in the world, in developing their thesis into a Bloomsbury monograph. It offers an online workshop on how to develop a book proposal and the opportunity for shortlisted book proposals – selected by an IHR panel – to receive full peer review.

The most successful proposal will be awarded a project completion grant of £500 (to be spent as the author chooses, on resources or expenses to enable them to complete the book) in addition to a Bloomsbury contract. We hope that this initiative will also help all participants to strengthen their book proposals and move a step closer to publication. The initiative is open to recent PhD students who are not currently in full-time, permanent, academic positions.
