| Mailing lists and copyrights |
We have an overall joint email and mailing list of around 72,000 and are constantly working towards the improvement of your book's exposure. We advertise in academic journals, send a large number of review copies, and are constantly working towards improving our marketing through new or exploratory channels.
With few exceptions, we are able to turnaround books more quickly than most academic presses ensuring that manuscripts do not wait indefinitely in the pipeline. While the importance of total period for which a book is 'in press' varies from discipline to discipline, producing timely books promptly makes a difference in both marketing and sales.
We have very generous copyright arrangements, allowing authors to keep foreign translation rights completely. In most cases, we charge no permissions fees for the reproduction of chapters or articles in books. As licensing and permissions are a very significant proportion of the revenue of most publishers, and as permissions charges can be prohibitive and restricting for the overall dissemination of academics' works, this is an important consideration for authors.
We have begun working towards the production of paperbacks and we expect a considerable reduction of our average book price, which, given that the majority of our books at present are hardback, is already low for the specialised hardback industry.
The majority of our authors have positive experiences working with us. Click on What Authors Think on the left pane to see a selection of their comments.

From Border States in the Work of Tom Mac Intyre: A Paleo-Postmodern Perspective
''Catriona Ryan has more than achieved what she set out to do.She has emphatically presented Tom Mac Intyre as a writer with a distinctive voice who not only provides a crucial link in the chain that goes back through Kavanagh to Yeats, but as a bridging figure, a transgressive author whose reflections on the Irish literary scene, and on writing more generally, have much to tell us about the ways in which constrictive critical currents can cut off living literary streams. It is clear from Catriona Ryan's painstaking excavation that Mac Intyre has been wrongly neglected. Her thoughtful and perceptive critical intervention will remedy that wrong.''
- Willy Maley, Litteraria Pragensia, 22:44 (2013), 131-134, p. 134.
“This is a critically independent piece of work that very much constructs and defines its own project, and maps an intellectual terrain of its own. It is an impressively original and also critically self-assured piece. It is marked by a sense of intellectual brio and also by the excitement of discovery.”
– Dr Steven Vine, Swansea University
“Since Tom Mac Intyre is a writer and dramatist who has received very little critical attention, this work intervenes in an under-researched area and offers an innovative and valuable extension of the frontier of knowledge in the field of Irish literary and dramatic studies.”
– Dr Aidan Arrowsmith, Manchester Metropolitan University
