Publishing your first book?

Publishing a first monograph is a major milestone. 🏅

As a long established press, at LUP we see the value in working closely with early career scholars to guide them through proposal development, peer review, revisions, and production.

We understand the importance of:
Clear communication
– Transparent timelines
– Constructive editorial support
– Guidance in adapting a thesis for publication

Strong first books help build strong academic careers — and we are proud to support that journey. Don’t be shy in contacting us no matter what stage you are in your career, we are here to help.
