[KS] Academia Publishers: Call for Publication Proposals

[Academebooks]

Dear Korean Studies colleagues,

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.

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.

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.

For authors and editors, Academia Publishers offers a publishing path 
that combines scholarly seriousness with broad accessibility, flexible 
formats, and international distribution.

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:

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.


With best regards,

Frank Hoffmann
