Publish With Us
An international publishing programme for academic, professional and selected general work. Editorial assessment, production and distribution are handled by one team, with terms agreed in writing before any work begins.
Who we work with
We read every submission in full and assess it against the same criteria, whatever the background of the author.
Researchers and scholars developing monographs, edited volumes and research led nonfiction.
Practitioners in business, law, medicine, technology and education writing from direct experience.
Universities, research bodies and professional associations publishing under an institutional imprint.
Writers with a completed manuscript who want a considered route to international publication.
What we publish
We publish selectively. A submission within these areas is not a guarantee of acceptance, and each proposal is assessed on its own merits.
Academic books, research-led nonfiction, professional works, business, technology, education, social sciences and related fields.
Ideas, society, culture, biography, history, business, technology and practical knowledge.
Selected literary and cross-cultural fiction.
Our publishing model
Publishing is a long relationship. We prefer to set out how it will work at the start, in writing, rather than after a manuscript has been accepted.
There is no charge to submit a proposal or manuscript for consideration.
Royalty, rights and delivery terms are set out in the agreement, not implied.
Editing, typesetting, cover development and production managed in house.
Authors retain their copyright. We license only the rights expressly agreed.
Digital and print availability through international channels.
A named contact throughout assessment, production and publication.
