Helpful Information

Production Schedule

As your book goes into production, you will be contacted with a schedule by our production team. If you have questions about the schedule in the interim, contact either your editor or Jenny Hunt at [email protected].

Access & Distribution

It is the role of the Press to pursue every opportunity for its books to be accessed as widely as possible. To this end, the Press gladly shoulders the burden of disseminating and creating access to its books across every possible platform and format, including electronic media, global markets, distributors, retailers, and libraries. While the Press champions maximal dissemination, authors must contact the Press in advance regarding any effort on the part of the author to disseminate their work—including via institutional repositories, self-archiving, and any third-party sites. Contributors to edited volumes must also contact the Press prior to any dissemination of their chapters.

For more information about the Press and its institutional repository and self-archiving policies see HERE.

Sales & Marketing

As the time draws close for your book’s publication, you will hear from several members of our staff.  However, if you have ideas for publicity or marketing that you would like us to consider, email David Aycock at [email protected]. We are always eager to hear of your connections that may help spread the word about your book.
