What We Do
At Cambridge Scholars, we support authors at every stage of the publishing journey. Whether you are an early-career researcher submitting your first manuscript or an established academic building on previous work, we offer a clear, author-centred experience, designed to prioritise your voice and your vision.
Our publishing model is founded on three core principles:
- No charges to authors - we do not levy submission or publishing fees
- Royalties from the first sale - authors begin receiving royalties from the very first copy sold
- Comprehensive editorial support - we provide full editorial assistance while respecting and preserving the author’s individual voice.
Global Distribution
Our titles are distributed globally to readers and libraries through an extensive network of academic and commercial channels. Books are available in hardback and digital formats, and can be ordered through platforms including Amazon, ProQuest, EBSCO, Ingram, and more.
We also offer a unique Print-on-Time system, which ensures titles remain continuously available without the need for warehousing or distribution delays.
