Instructions for "Author as TeX Compositor" Projects

This page contains instructions for preparing and submitting your manuscript for the production phase of publication at Princeton University Press.

These instructions were designed for projects written using LaTeX, AMS-TeX, or other version of TeX, where the author has contracted not only to submit a manuscript, but also to input corrections after copyediting and to implement the final layout as directed by the Production Editor.

You will need to prepare your manuscript to meet the following requirements:

• Manuscript Assembly Is Complete
   
  • See Assembly Guide for TeX Manuscripts (.pdf).
  • See TeX Typesetting Guidelines.
    
  • See LaTeX F.A.Q. (.pdf).
     
• Permissions Have Been Acquired

• See Permissions F.A.Q. for Authors.
• See Sample Permission Letters.
• See Helpful Online Resources.

• Illustrations Meet Quality Standards

• See Art Guide for TeX Manuscripts (.pdf).

  Need help with illustrations? Contact our illustration specialist, Dimitri Karetnikov (dimitri_karetnikov at press.princeton.edu).

You will need to submit the following materials:

• Manuscript

• electronic manuscript for copyediting
  This is the most important file we ask for.
  Please see Instructions for Producing a TeX Manuscript for Copyediting (.pdf).
   
• electronic manuscript for design check
  This is a single-spaced .pdf of your manuscript.
   
• electronic files for manuscript text
  Your .tex files and any .sty, .cls, or other helper files.
   
• electronic files for all illustrations
  These are likely to be .eps, .tif, or .tex files.

  This is a .pdf containing only the figure files.
  Please see Instructions for Producing a Duplicate Set of Illustrations (.pdf).

  • copies of all permission documents
    We absolutely need copies of any correspondence from rights-holders you have contacted.
     
• Satellite Documents

• Marketing Form (APF) for New Books (.doc)
  We absolutely need your input to promote and sell your book.
   
• Copyright Information Form
  We absolutely need this information to apply for copyright registration with the U.S. Copyright Office. This form also confirms that the print and digital permissions for third-party copyrighted material have been cleared.
