We welcome book proposals for academic and general audiences. Most of our publications deal with Pakistan but we do publish a few works on South Asia. Proposals for School and Higher Education textbooks are also considered. We encourage prospective authors to view our website to make sure that their book fits the list before submitting the proposal. The Press does not publish and will not examine contemporary fiction (novels, short stories, unless prescribed at an educational institution as a literary text or recommended reading), poetry, drama, memoir, how-to or self-help books, cookbooks, 'coffee table' or photographic books, or medical books.
In order to submit a book proposal to Oxford University Press (OUP) Pakistan, please send the following information.
