“A new series of research-focused collections of Elements on aspects of Publishing and Book Culture.”

This series aims to fill the demand for easily accessible, quality texts available for teaching and research in the diverse and dynamic fields of Publishing and Book Culture. Rigorously researched and peer-reviewed, this brand new Elements series is published in thematic areas, or ‘Gatherings’, that can then be augmented by additional online materials.

The series is cross-disciplinary in nature, making it useful in a number of areas where there are currently few helpful resources for teaching and research purposes: Young Adult Publishing, for instance, or Bookselling. By bringing in an Advisory Board with members from all the connected communities covered by the scope of the series, content will remain current and relevant, and the speed of the publication process will ensure texts are available to match the pace of developing ideas and trends.
