2. Reflect deep involvement in one or more Asian contexts throughout the article.
3. Be written in English at the post graduate level and must be between 5,000 –  5,500 words.
4. Must not have been previously published elsewhere.
5. All articles must be formatted according to Turabian’s 9th edition.
6. Articles using the original biblical languages must have those words in the original font, not transliterated.

APTS Press is actively looking for manuscripts, especially theses and dissertations that contain the following:

1. Reflect a high view of Scripture
2. Reflect deep involvement in one or more Asian contexts throughout the manuscript.
3. Be written in English at the post graduate level.
4. Must not have been previously published elsewhere.
5. We would prefer manuscripts to be formatted following Turabian’s 9th edition. However, other systems are welcome as long as they are consistently followed.
6. Manuscripts using the original biblical languages must have those words in the original font, not transliterated.

PROCESS OF SUBMISSION

1. All submissions for either the Journal or the Press must be sent to Dr. Dave Johnson, at dave.johnson@apts.edu
2. The submission must include an abstract of the thesis or dissertation, a copy of the appropriate approval sheet, and a cover letter demonstrating why you desire to publish with us and how you think this would benefit our reading audience of pastors, professors and church leaders in Asia.
3. If the manuscript is of interest to us, you will be invited to submit the entire manuscript electronically for further review with the understanding that submission for review does not guarantee publication.
4. With the exception of our faculty, manuscripts are normally reviewed in the order in which they are received. Due to our workload and the number of manuscripts waiting to be reviewed, the review process will likely take up to one year.
5. If the manuscript is accepted an author’s contract will be sent to the potential author. No manuscript is accepted until the contract is signed and any rewrites required by us are completed by the author.
