Common Ground is setting new standards of rigorous academic knowledge creation and scholarly publication.

Unlike other publishers, we’re not interested in the size of potential markets or competition from other books. We’re only interested in the intellectual quality of the work. If your book is a brilliant contribution to a specialist area of knowledge that only serves a small intellectual community, we still want to publish it. If it is expansive and has a broad appeal, we want to publish it too, but only if it is of the highest intellectual quality.

Each conference and journal community has an accompanying book imprint. We welcome proposals or completed manuscript submissions of:

- individually and jointly authored books;

- edited collections addressing a clear, intellectually challenging theme;

- collections of papers published in our journals.

In this last case, editorial selection can occur after the conference; or a group of authors may first wish to organise a colloquium at the conference to test the ideas in this broader intellectual context.
