We publish textbooks for university students under the UNSW Press imprint mainly in the following areas:
Please note that our scholarly publishing program, which is aimed primarily at specialist readers, requires a subsidy from an author’s institution, usually a university. Details of this fully peer-reviewed publishing scheme are available here. Choice Books
Choice Books is Australia's leading brand of consumer guides. UNSW Press welcomes new authors but advises potential authors that our list is very selective. Being published by UNSW Press means developing your book with an experienced team with successful track records in all areas of publishing, editing, design, production and marketing. A detailed proposal, rather than a complete manuscript, should be submitted in the first instance. The proposal should include:
After an initial assessment, the publisher may ask for the complete manuscript, but UNSW Press does offer publishing contracts for suitable titles before completion of the manuscript. You will find our royalties are competitive and correspond to the nature of the publication. NOTE: Assessment of manuscripts and proposals can take up to 12 weeks. Once a book is contracted, the publisher will discuss the requirements of presentation of the manuscript with the author. The final manuscript is delivered both on disk and in hard copy and must be accompanied by all illustrative material and relevant copyright permission documentation. Upon delivery to UNSW Press of the final manuscript, it is checked for structure and style before being accepted for copy editing. A copy editor is appointed and ongoing liaison with the author occurs throughout the editing process. Upon receipt of the final edited manuscript and illustrative material, the production team proceeds to design the book. A design is created with reference to the audience, subject matter and elements contained in the book. The author and copy editor then receive page proofs for final checking. The author is now able to proceed with the index. Overall production can take from 4 to 12 months from the handover of the manuscript to finished book, depending on the work's complexity. Distribution and Representation NewSouth Books, is the sales, marketing and distribution service for UNSW Press in the Australian Book market. The marketing division of New South works very closely with our authors to identify and reach the very best markets for their books. Our publicity team works very closely with authors in targeting relevant radio, TV, journals, newsletters, newspapers and magazines with review copies and media releases. We also submit titles for literary festivals and awards. Sales promotion of UNSW Press titles to the book trade begins more than four months ahead of publication. We have our own sales representatives covering all Australian states. We sell to all national book chains, independent bookstores, campus booksellers and library and educational suppliers. We will also include information about your book in a monthly mail-out to bookstores in outlying areas and smaller accounts. In addition, we develop lists of associations, professionals and academics to contact about new publications and books are included at appropriate conference displays. We send a range of promotional mail-outs to schools, government bodies, NGOs and professional groups. New South creates direct sale flyers for all UNSW Press authors. Bulk quantities of these are given to authors to use for their own promotional activities.
