If you have an idea for a book covering any theme associated with emergency management and humanitarian action, consider publishing it with us. We have assembled an extraordinary team of people and developed a stress-free method to ensure your journey is fun and adequate to your needs and personal circumstances.

Some people have a clear idea of how the book will look. If this is your case, you can download the proposal form from Springer's website and send it to the series editor at diegootegui@imara-ihg.com. Other people only have a preliminary concept in their minds. If you fall into this second category, do not feel discouraged. While many publishing houses and book series only accept full proposals, we will work with you to help you succeed. So, if you are still unsure about where you are, don't hesitate to contact our editor with a short description of your project and CV/Resume. He will get back to you in less than 48 hours to share his opinion.

Our Commitment to You

Dedicated Point of Contact

A distinguished and vastly experienced member of our team will be designated as your primary point of contact. This individual will oversee a seamless process and promptly address any concerns or inquiries you may have.

Expert Connections

We are dedicated to bridging the divide between scholars and practitioners. We will connect you with an expert from the "other side" who can engage with your ideas and assist you in bringing your book to fruition.

Post-Publication Promotion

After your book has been published, we will provide our utmost assistance in promoting your work, ensuring your insights reach the widest possible audience.
