We offer authors the chance to work with a publisher who has the marketing, distribution and commercial weight of a major player but the spirit of an independent. Whether you want to publish a peer-reviewed research monograph, journal article, professional or reference title, we offer a flexible, friendly approach. You will be in great company, as we publish with partners such as the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Academy of International Business and the International Economics Association, as well as some of the brightest minds in the Humanities, Business and Social Sciences - from Tim Shaw, Barbie Zelizer and Akira Iriye, to Paninah Thomson, Joanna Moncrieff and Steve Fuller.
‘I’ve very much enjoyed working with you, and hope to be able to do so again soon. I might add how delighted I am with the production of the book, and with
the hard work of the marketing team - please pass on my genuine gratitude.’ - Adam Roberts, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
‘The collection editors were extremely impressed and pleased with the all-round help and critical support they received from the team at
Palgrave - both have considerable experience to compare this with; and the rigour, the quality of the publishing process and the responsiveness
of Palgrave to editors’ requests and concerns, is unsurpassed.’ - Sean Brady, Birkbeck, University of London, UK
‘My experiences with Palgrave Macmillan have been thoroughly
professional, and it has been a pleasure to work with you.’
- Ronald D Francis, College of Law & Justice, Victoria University, Australia
‘I would like to say a big thank you to Palgrave Macmillan for their support. I really appreciated how flexible and responsive they were at all stages of the project.’
- Léna Pellandini-Simanyi, Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary

PUBLISHING WITH
PALGRAVE MACMILLAN
If you choose Palgrave Macmillan as your publisher, what can you expect from us?
Being part of a distinctive brand:As part of Macmillan Science and Education, we represent an unbroken tradition of over 170 years of academic publishing in the Humanities, Social Sciences and Business, and we work hard to understand the changing needs of the research and professional communities we work closely with. We’ve published some of the leading scholarly works, such as the first Dictionary of Economics, The Golden Treasury, The Shakespeare First Folios and the work of E. H. Carr. But Palgrave Macmillan is also known for our publishing in new, cutting-edge areas. We are similarly committed to promoting interdisciplinary publishing, supporting new kinds of research and providing a venue to publish work in new sub-fields.
Commitment to our authors:This means responsive, collaborative editors and author support across our publishing teams. We offer a personal approach, with an individual editor who will work with you to determine the best format for your research publication, and a dedicated global marketing manager for your title, who will liaise with editorial, publicity and sales to ensure information about your title reaches the right markets. We welcome proposals from authors at any stage of their career.
Flexible and innovative publishing:All scholarly titles are published in simultaneous print and electronic formats, with a bespoke cover design. Ebooks are available via our award-winning platform, Palgrave Connect, and from most major ebook retailers (including Amazon). We offer the opportunity to publish at almost any length – whether a journal article in one of our 50+ acclaimed journals, a traditional scholarly book length, or a Palgrave Pivot, our exciting and innovative mid-length format. We also offer authors the option to publish open access research across all publication formats via Palgrave Open.
High-quality standards – including peer review - and speedy publication times:We offer full copyediting and proofreading services on accepted manuscripts. We guarantee a thorough peer-review of your project by academic specialists in your field, often at both proposal and final manuscript stage. You can also expect the time between the receipt of your manuscript and its publication to be faster than that of many of our competitors.
Effective sales and marketing support:You can expect:• High-performing digital marketing campaigns (have you seen our popular
subject newsletters and our digital subject catalogues?);• The opportunity to select key journals and media outlets from which we will
solicit reviews; • Innovative social media campaigns to our followers across sites such as Twitter,
Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn;• Representation at major discipline conferences internationally;• Ongoing post-publication support via our Author Care Coordinator, who can
answer any questions and provide you with marketing materials.
Worldwide dissemination of your work:With international offices including London, New York and Shanghai, and sales teams across 50 countries, we offer a global reach. You will have an international team of local experts behind the distribution of your work, and our international rights team get many of our titles translated into numerous languages around the world. We ensure our data feeds are constantly updated and we are currently accredited with the BIC Product Data Excellence Award (with a Digital Tick). This signifies that our title data is distributed accurately and far in advance of publication. It is the second highest accreditation available and we are the highest accredited academic publisher.
