Hi Everyone,
Fordham University Press, founded in 1907 and based in Bronx, New York, has
signed our agreement, giving us world rights to their titles. They have 300
titles ready to go in EPUB through codeMantra.
The Press publishes 60 to 70 books a year and has a backlist of a thousand
titles. It publishes primarily in the humanities and the social sciences, with
an emphasis on the fields of anthropology, philosophy, theology, history,
classics, communications, economics, sociology, business, political science,
and law, as well as literature and the fine arts. Additionally, the Press
publishes books focusing on the metropolitan New York region and books of
interest to the general public. It publishes three journals including Dante
Studies and Joyce Studies.
Fordham is one of five presses - including New York University Press, Rutgers
University Press, Temple University Press, and the University of Virginia
Press-collaborating on the American Literatures Initiative, which is devoted to
the publishing crisis in literature and literary studies, where the annual
number of university press books has declined steeply in recent years, placing
younger scholars at a disadvantage when writing their first books.
