Book Publishing in United States

University Of Massachusetts Press

Founded in 1963, the University of Massachusetts Press publishes scholarship, literature, and books for general readers that reflect the quality and diversity of intellectual life on our campuses, in our region, and around the world. Serving interconnected communities of scholars, students, and citizens, the Press seeks to enhance and reflect the values and strengths of the University and the Commonwealth. UMass Press has sold more than volumes since its inception, and currently has over 1,400 titles in print. The Press imprint is overseen by a faculty committee, whose members represent a broad spectrum of University departments. New titles are approved by the committee after a rigorous process of peer review. The committee bases each of its decisions on the recommendations of the Press director and editors and on the written reports of at least two scholars in the field. Series editors also assist in this process. In recent years, the Press has focused primarily on books in the field of American studies broadly defined—books that explore the history, politics, literature, culture, and environment of the United States—as well as works with a transnational perspective. In addition to publishing works of scholarship, the Press produces books of more general interest for a wider readership and launched its regional trade imprint, Bright Leaf in 2017.

Vanderbilt University Press

Established in 1940, Vanderbilt University Press is the principal publishing arm of one of the nation’s leading research universities. The Press’s primary mission is to select, produce, market, and disseminate scholarly publications of outstanding quality and originality. In conjunction with the long-term development of its editorial program, the Press draws on and supports the intellectual activities of the university and its faculty. Although its main emphasis falls in the area of scholarly publishing, the Press also publishes books of substance and significance that are of interest to the general public, including regional books. In this regard, the Press also supports Vanderbilt’s service and outreach to the larger local and national community. Falling under the administrative aegis of Vanderbilt’s Provost, the chief academic officer of the university, the Press is an integral part of its parent institution. The Vanderbilt imprint is controlled by an Editorial Committee composed of twelve members of the university’s faculty. Prior to being presented to the Editorial Committee, manuscripts are evaluated by VU Press staff for list fit, viability, and quality. External peer review is also conducted to assess the execution of the manuscript’s goals and the quality of the work presented. The editorial interests of Vanderbilt University Press include most areas of the humanities and social sciences, as well as health care and education. The Press seeks intellectually provocative and socially significant works in these areas, as well as works that are interdisciplinary or that blend scholarly and practical concerns. At present, Vanderbilt publishes around twenty-five new titles each year. Vanderbilt publications are marketed through catalogs, direct mail, exhibits, reviews, advertising, and promotion to the book trade throughout this country and abroad. Warehousing and worldwide order fulfillment services are provided by Longleaf Services, Inc. in Chapel Hill, NC.

We Write Books

You have a God-given book inside of you meant to impact the world, change lives, and point people toward biblical truth, whether fiction or non-fiction. But it's stuck inside of you and you keep wrestling with all those ideas jumbled in your mind! You know it's meant for big things, but it's not serving anyone if it stays in your head. I'm Katelyn Silva, and I help Christian mompreneurs finally get clarity on their book idea, confidently write and publish a bestseller, and use it as a business tool for the impact, authority, and legacy it was meant to create. As a fellow mom of four little ones, I definitely understand the struggle yet I've been able to write and publish 11 books, 4 of them bestsellers in the last few years while I was working, attending classes, and raising my littles. I want to show you how to do the same so you can accomplish the calling God has placed on your life through your book. Join our free Facebook group for more details: facebook.com/groups/writersclubmembership And remember: your book can change a life!
