Author's Guidelines
At Pelican we believe that close collaboration at all stages of a project benefits all parties and makes for the best possible publication. Review/editing of manuscripts. Manuscripts will normally be reviewed by our editor and at least two reviewers with expertise within the scope of the publication. We reserve the right to edit accepted manuscripts to ensure conciseness, clarity, and stylistic consistency, subject to the author’s final approval.

- Author name and book title should appear on the first page of your manuscript.
