Publish your research with University of Buckingham Press

 

University of Buckingham Press invites proposals from academics, researchers and subject specialists for original scholarly books, edited collections and academic works with a wider professional or public readership.


We are looking for books that contribute to important debates, challenge established thinking and bring rigorous research to new audiences.

What we publish
 

We welcome proposals in areas including:

  • Business, economics and management

  • Medical research and practice

  • Politics, international relations and public policy

  • History, literature and the humanities

  • Law and legal studies

  • Social sciences

  • Technology, AI and digital transformation

  • Sustainability and environmental studies

  • Interdisciplinary research

 

We are particularly interested in original research monographs, academic textbooks, edited collections and books that connect scholarship with contemporary professional, political or public debates.

Why publish with us?

 

University of Buckingham Press offers authors the opportunity to publish with a university press that values intellectual independence, academic quality and the wider impact of research.


We aim to develop books that are:

  • Scholarly and authoritative, with a clear contribution to their field

  • Accessible and engaging, where the subject and readership make this appropriate

  • Internationally relevant, with potential to reach readers beyond the UK

  • Professionally produced, with careful editorial and design support

  • Discoverable and commercially viable, supported by appropriate distribution and marketing

 

We are especially interested in books that can bridge the gap between academic research and the wider world.

What makes a strong proposal?

 

We are looking for proposals that demonstrate:

  • A clear and original argument

  • A significant contribution to existing scholarship

  • A well-defined academic or professional readership

  • A compelling reason why the book is needed now

  • A coherent structure and realistic manuscript length

  • The author's expertise and research background

  • Potential for international or interdisciplinary appeal

 

We welcome established scholars, early-career researchers and practitioners with substantial subject expertise.
