John Benjamins' Natural Language Processing Book Series invites new book proposals to respond to the growing demand for Natural Language processing (NLP) literature. Three general types of books are considered for publication:

Monographs:
- original, leading and cutting-edge research (the monograph could be based on an outstanding PhD thesis)
- surveys of the state of the art in specific NLP tasks or applications

Collections:
- books focusing on a particular NLP area (e.g. emerging from successful NLP workshops or as a result of editors’ calls for papers)
- books which include papers covering a wide range of topics (e.g. emerging from competitive NLP conferences or as a result of proposals for books of the type ''Reading In NLP'')

Course Books:
- general NLP course books
- books on a particular key area of NLP (e.g. Speech Processing, Computational Syntax/Parsing)

Authors are encouraged to append supplementary materials such as demonstration programs, NLP software, corpora and so on if applicable, and to indicate websites and computational language resources where appropriate. This call invites proposals from potential authors of the types of books described above. Proposals on any topic related to Natural Language Processing are welcome.

Interested authors should submit proposals by email (plain text or pdf files) to the series editor:
Prof. Dr. Ruslan Mitkov
Email R.Mitkovwlv.ac.uk
with a copy to Emma Franklin (emma.franklinwlv.ac.uk), the series editorial assistant.

The proposals should include an outline of the book (1-2 pages), a preliminary table of contents, the target readership, related publications, how the book will differ from other similar books in the area (if applicable), time-scale and information about the prospective author (relevant experience in the field, publications etc.).

Each proposal will be reviewed by members of the advisory board or additional reviewers.
