Publishing Your Book with SAGE

SAGE is the natural home for authors, editors and societies. As a leading international publisher of books, journals and electronic media, we work closely with authors and editors to produce the most outstanding works in the fields in which we publish.

Building on SAGE’s tradition of publishing high-quality academic works in the social sciences, we concentrate our efforts on providing undergraduate and graduate textbooks, as well as handbooks, reference and professional resources. We publish over 800 titles a year worldwide and have over 4,500 titles in print.

Our authors and editors are extremely important to us, and we are dedicated to making sure you receive the support you need. We are committed to developing strong and flexible partnerships that deliver:

• Thorough evaluation of proposals and sample material, with constructive feedback provided by experienced editors and peer reviews
• Involvement and support from your SAGE team throughout the writing and development process
• High quality book production
• Global promotion, marketing, sales, and distribution.

Below you’ll find a selection of handy resources - for both prospective and current authors - that are designed to make submitting a book proposal or publishing your book as easy as possible.
