EDITORIAL POLICY

A global approach and a commitment to excellence in publishing.

A respect for diversity, regardless of color of skin, nationality,

 ethnic background, gender, or sexual preference.

     What are the goals of University Press of the South?      

Our approach has been global, regardless of the continent or the country.  We want every scholar in Africa, America, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America, and North America, to know that, if his/her book is scientifically solid and peer-reviewed positively, we will publish it.   

We currently consider manuscripts for publication in nine languages; we would like to extend that to as many languages as possible, as long as there is a market  nationwide and/or worldwide for the book.  Too many excellent scholars still cannot find a publisher within the territory of the United States, because traditional, not to say outdated, university presses publish only in English. They seem to ignore that many more languages are talked today in the USA, and that many scholars write directly in their native language.  

Moreover, many European scholars would like to have access to the North American market; we fully provide this service to them.  

Most of the time, very gifted African scholars cannot find a publisher in Africa; we welcome them.

We are publishing also some of the best poets and novelists. They are all welcomed. We believe strongly in creative writing and the potential positive impact of it on education, minds and spirits.

 

 

We recently opened a new Arabic and Islamic Studies Series, with already some very important scholars and novelists from various countries whom we are to publish very soon.  We encourage academics, novelists, and poets worldwide to submit manuscripts directly in Arabic, Turkish, or Farsi, the most important Persian language.

We are also developing a very promising African-American Studies Series, with many forthcoming titles in both academic and fiction fields.

Last but not least, we are very proud of our new Children's Book Department. In the near future, we hope to publish attractive books in English and Spanish for preK-12 kids, providing them with entertaining material and opening their minds to respect to diversity and tolerance.

 

- What Are the Most Fundamental Values Exemplified by University Press of the South?

First, a commitment to excellence in publishing.  We want to publish only top quality books. 

Second, a respect for diversity, regardless of color of skin, nationality, ethnic background, gender, or sexual preference.

We want every scholar to feel comfortable and approach University Press of the South in total confidence.  Moreover our staff, editors, designer, printer, and interns, are also totally representative of this policy.  We are indeed the rainbow people at University Press of the South and very much proud of it.  If University Press of the South can help changing the image and perception of the editorial world, by showing the right example, so be it.
