Invitation to Academics
Publish or Perish... axioma veritas?
The written word is the established currency of academic merit. But many academics want to excel not only by publishing in scholarly journals, but also by reaching a wider audience.
Simply stated, can your ideas cross over into the “trade” publishing world?
Trade publishing is as different to academic publishing as popular music is to chamber music. Chamber music is refined and dignified, presented by highly skilled professionals. But how many people hear it? Popular music, while fraught with hype, sells to hundreds of thousands, even millions of listeners. At PUBLISH OR PERISH AGENCY, Inc., our job is to bring your work to a larger audience. To do this requires an understanding of the presentation, style and marketing to manage and sustain your career in an ever-changing environment.
We can help you publish to the widest possible audience.
The PUBLISH OR PERISH AGENCY, Inc. is designed not just to get books into print, but to manage careers. Many academics have become best selling authors. Ideas that originated in academe can be recast to appeal to a popular trade audience. I have been a bookseller and a trade publishing house sales director for most of my thirty-year plus career. I can help you assess whether your material is suited to a trade audience, I can help you find a co-writer if that's what you want, and I can help you land a contract for a trade book.
You grow. We grow. Your message is heard. Minds grow.
If you are ready to start the process, please go to the query/ submissions page.
