Cambridge Scholars Publishing are inviting proposals for academic books and edited collections in Humanities and Social Sciences. We publish in all major fields of academic research and practice, including Humanities and Social Sciences, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, and Health Sciences. To submit a book proposal, please visit our website, where you can complete a Book Proposal Form, and find out more about us.
Since our foundation in Cambridge, UK, 20 years ago, Cambridge Scholars Publishing have grown to be one of the world’s leading scholarly book publishers, with a backlist of more than 8000 titles, and more than 700 academic books due to be published this year. Though we remain proud of our roots, Cambridge Scholars Publishing Limited is not affiliated to, or associated with, Cambridge University Press or the University of Cambridge.
We always aim to put our authors first in our work, and we bring that ambition into our publishing operations with our Author Promises:
- Fast, fair, and friendly proposal review;
- Publication in handsome hardback, as well as eBook formats, for our academic library customers;
- Worldwide distribution to research and study centres across the globe, via our international network including Amazon, EBSCO/GOBI, ProQuest, and Ingram;
- A book published with us is always in-stock, and always available for sale, thanks to our unique Print on Time global distribution system;
- An escalating royalty payment—the more titles sold, the higher the royalty rate, from the first copy sold;
- No charges for publication.
Our authors also can contribute to our unique Book in Focus series, which you can read about on our website.
In 2022, we are continuing our drive to encourage books on issues relating to Social Justice, and we hope to publish the results of our collaborative research project with a UK University on the important issues of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). You can read more about our approach to how academic publishing intersects with social justice issues in the No Shelf Required online magazine.
You can also get some ideas on how to publish with us from these guidelines.
