We publish books in existing and emerging areas of scholarship and in any academic realm. We will also consider fictional manuscripts of new writing of significant quality, particularly, those asserting or exploring new horizons of genre and narrativity.

We are constantly learning, adventurous and immensely curious!

How it works

The publishing process

Once you submit a manuscript to us our team will carefully assess it. If it is deemed publishable then we will begin together with you a very exciting relationship of author-publisher-and-target-markets. We will support you all the way and take great care to protect your interests – from the launch of your book to peak sales and long tail demand. We will ensure that your book is never out of print.

If you have got a book or an article that you would like us to consider then please visit the following pages to find out more.
