Dear Dr. Dornseif,
We have learned of your published research on quantum cryptography. Nova Science Publishers, Inc. currently publishes about 500 new titles each year. We would like to invite your participation in our publishing program. In particular, I have in mind a new article for an edited collection (invitation only) being assembled under my direction tentatively entitled, “Progress in Quantum Cryptography Research.” The contributions for this edited book and a follow-up volume are intended to range from 5,000-25,000 words. If you are interested in participating, please consult the Notes for Contributors at the bottom of this letter. Publication is about 6-9 months after the close of the volume. We would welcome the opportunity of working with you.
We would also welcome your participation by serving as the editor of a collected work or by proposing a monograph, a textbook (targeted adoption) or a new online or paper journal idea. In any case, we request as much detail as may exist on the proposed contents even if that is a brief description of the scope.
I look forward to learning your thoughts on this idea.
Sincerely yours,
Frank Columbus
President and Editor-in-Chief
