Today I'm taking the time to look in detail at monograph proposal forms from some exemplar new university presses.
Some excellent professional practices being spotted, alongside quite a range of differences in what each press asks prospective authors to explain.

Who owns open knowledge? The two types of licence to consider when making books open access
When a more restrictive open access licence is applied to a book, who gets to make decisions about usage that falls outside the open licence?
