Author Guidelines

Windsor Studies in Argumentation welcomes the submission of book proposals on the theory of argumentation -- understood broadly, in a way that encompasses logic, informal logic, rhetoric, dialectic, and related fields. All documents should be submitted electronically though this site. Potential authors should upload a prospectus, and chapter manuscripts from the work. Any questions about the submissions can be directed to the editors-in-chief.

Please keep a copy of your submission. WSIA is not responsible for any lost manuscripts, proposals, photos, artwork or other submissions.
