Publishing with Anthem
Anthem Press is committed to an editorial mission of independence, distinction and global appeal. With offices in London, New York and Delhi as well as an established network of international agents and distributors, Anthem Press currently publishes around 100 new titles a year - and we firmly intend to increase this number as we continue to cultivate superb scholarship and innovative teaching in the academic disciplines we serve.
We believe that our publishing house is distinctive in a number of ways. As a relatively small and resolutely nimble house, we are able to make dicisions quickly, particularly about new publications. We place special emphasis on being able to offer personal service to our authors, working closely with them from the initial concepts of a project, through its development, production and marketing, to its sales and reviews. Our creative sales and marketing teams are in regular communication with customers everywhere, and are now building strong electronic communication with our readership. Anthem Press India also publish select titles for the South Asian market
