<p>Dear Korean Studies colleagues,<br>
<br>
I would like to share a brief call for publication proposals from
Academia Publishers, LLC, an independent small academic publishing
house based in Berkeley, California. Korean Studies is one of our
main areas of interest, together with related fields in the
humanities and social sciences.<br>
<br>
As an independent small press, we aim to combine careful scholarly
publishing with flexible formats, low, reasonable pricing, and
highly efficient production workflows. Put simply, we do not want
specialized academic books to become $200 or $300 library-only
volumes, a model that has become common as corporate consolidation
has reshaped parts of academic publishing, especially in Europe.
Our editorial and production workflows are designed for a
significantly shorter review and publication timeline than is
typical at larger university presses, while maintaining scholarly
standards appropriate to each project.<br>
<br>
We welcome publication proposals in Korean Studies, Asian Studies,
history, cultural studies, the humanities more broadly, as well as
selected areas of technology studies (including computer science,
artificial intelligence, and the socioeconomic and political
implications of digital technologies). We are also interested in
projects that may not fit easily into the standard
large-university-press model, including highly specialized
research monographs, shorter research studies and working papers,
as either single publications or series, edited volumes,
conference proceedings, source editions, commented translations,
and other formats that serve scholarly communities. We welcome
inventive formats: authors and editors are invited to propose
publication models and formats that fit the material and the
intended scholarly audience; quality and usefulness matter more
than inherited conventions.<br>
<br>
For authors and editors, Academia Publishers offers a publishing
path that combines scholarly seriousness with broad accessibility,
flexible formats, and international distribution.<br>
<br>
We publish each title simultaneously in four formats: paperback,
hardcover, PDF, and Kindle eBook. Publication proposals from both
individual scholars and institutions are welcome. We currently
consider manuscripts with English, German, or French as their main
language. Scholars, research groups, and institutions with
possible book or research paper projects are welcome to contact us
via our contact page:<br>
<br>

<br>
Please feel free to share or repost this announcement with
colleagues, research groups, graduate students, or institutions
for whom it may be relevant. Spread the word.<br>
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
With best regards,<br>
