BERG Publishers

WHY PUBLISH WITH BERG?

About the company

Berg Publishers is an independent, academic publisher. Though our offices are in Oxford, UK, we have always placed a very strong emphasis on global publishing and have an established network of international agents and distributors. Currently, Berg publishes around 60 new titles a year and has approximately 1000 titles in print and a cutting-edge journals programme.

Author Care

Berg places special emphasis on being able to offer personal service to its authors. We pride ourselves on responding quickly to proposals. We work closely with our authors from the initial conception of a project, through its development, production and marketing, to its sales and reviews. Publishing with Berg means working with committed and knowledgeable publishing professionals. Here, authors will not find themselves shunted from department to department or constantly speaking to voicemail. At Berg, authors are always involved in the process of publishing.

Academic Excellence

We have gained an excellent reputation in academic publishing. Book proposals go through a rigorous editorial process, and we ensure scholarly quality by seeking external peer reviews. Beyond positive reviews in leading academic journals, our books have also won numerous awards.

Marketing & Distribution

Berg Publishers has a worldwide network of reps and agents. In North America, we are distributed through Palgrave Macmillan. We have always been adept at getting our books reviewed in the national press. In addition to the traditional forms of marketing — advertising, conference attendance, direct mail catalogues — we are constantly exploring opportunities on the internet and via email.

Production Values

We take great pride in the design of our books. Since books are indeed often judged by their covers, we take care to ensure that jacket designs are visually arresting. Our books look modern and exciting. Internal illustrations and text design are also given careful attention since we feel the visual presentation enhances the intellectual content.
