The AMS invites proposals for the AMS Studies series that explore musical issues from any historical, theoretical, or ethnomusicological perspective. Upon acceptance, each book will automatically receive financial support in the amount of $3,000. Additionally, authors who are contingent faculty, independent scholars, or another type of professional whose research activities are not remunerated as part of their paid employment are eligible to receive an extra $2,000 in subvention support, for a total of $5,000. Funds will primarily be used by authors to reimburse direct publication costs.

If you are interested in being considered for the series, please submit a detailed proposal explaining the substance, structure, and disciplinary importance of the proposed work, including the content of each chapter, the current status of the study, and a projected date for completion of the manuscript. All proposals must include one or more sample chapters.

An electronic copy of the proposal and sample chapters should be sent to the current AMS Studies series editor at both of the email addresses below:
