Run by an editorial collective, Red Quill Books is dedicated to the following three principles:
1) Consciousness Raising: We are committed to disseminating critical academic works to a mass readership in formats that are accessible and that raise awareness and promote political engagement.
2) Ecology: We aim to build a sustainable and Green publishing house. Our processes are digital with minimal supply-chain waste. We are an on-demand producer of books, which also ensures our books are never out of print.
3) Community: We will be offering academic prizes and graduate research grants to support the next generation of critical scholars. We seek to actively promote future critical scholarship.
…the literary proletarian… who fabricates books... under the direction of his publisher, is a productive labourer; for his product is from the outset subsumed under capital, and comes into being only for the purpose of increasing that capital. - Karl Marx, Theories of Surplus Value I
If you are a critical scholar who wants to break with corporate publication houses, be fully compensated for your intellectual labour, and contribute to furthering critical scholarship, then think about publishing with Red Quill Books.
