I am looking for a reputable literary agent or commercial or academic publisher to submit my book proposal and book. The manuscript is complete. I made the last edits to the manuscript this morning. I realize after nearly 10 years of research and construction of the project that I needed to construct the proposal first. I planned this book project as a dissertation, not realizing the dissertation would become a book project.
The title is: In Defense of Values - An American Foreign Policy. The project has evolved into 14 chapters in 286 pages and approximately 59,000 words. The manuscript covers an American foreign policy for Iraq and is included in the Conflict Resolution and Security Studies section. I use the scientific method to describe anarchy in the international system, the democratic peace and the role of elite media in today's public discourse. Five hypotheses are constructed around mediation, aid, peace agreements, and peacekeeping operations and tested using regression in stata. The results are used to construct the foreign policy, understand the message and ideology of extremism, and discuss border security and immigration policy. The American Administration section includes an application of the concept of the iron triangle to the Department of Veterans Affairs, a discussion of democratic and transparency values versus efficiency and effectiveness values as related to social media and technology, a definition of the crime triangle and the case study of Charles Joseph Whitman, accountability in the American democratic system of government, human motivational theories applied to an allied informal running group, and encouragement to "live the dream" in an open system of government.
I am not associated with any institution of higher education and I am not looking to re-enter graduate school. I seek to bring closure to this project through publication.
Direct correspondence to my email or rally point accounts. Thanks

Yes. I have a children's book series that I'm about to launch, there are 5 in the series. A college friend's dad knows him well and has published through Eddie Smith/World Wide Publishing in Houston. Eddie is very forthright to say that it's not always a slam-dunk and is difficult to make a lot of money in publishing. He's well known in publishing faith-centered books though not exclusively.
Here is his LI information, and below is the company web site.

Let me know your progress, I hope it's huge! Regards, Nancy in Texas

And I'd most definitely try sending it to the Army Command and Genl.Staff College or Army War College, or any of the mil equivalent ONE programs, maybe Naval War College as well, posskbly, to ask for a critique, just another thought, after you'd copyrighted it, of course....

And have you taught at all, or been faculty or a TA/RD for grad school at all? I'd just thought to ask that as well....
