CambriaPress – Distribution

Cambria Press offers its authors a combination of opportunities that most scholars have found hard to find—rigorous peer review, full services, and timely publications.  Once their work has passed peer review and is approved for publication, Cambria authors can realize their publication aspirations in a matter of a few months!

Based in Amherst, New York, Cambria Press is an independent publishing company that provides the personal warmth of a small firm but the distribution capabilities of a large publishing house, making them the premier choice for academic and professional authors looking to get their work published.

Cambria Press is on the approval plan of the premier book wholesalers. As such, Cambria books enjoy worldwide distribution and are found in public and research libraries around the world.  They are distributed by Ingram Books, one of the largest book distributors to independent book stores.

Authors who are concerned about their books only being in hardcopy form and not in the digital format that is increasingly the trend, then Cambria Press is an excellent choice because Cambria Press not only publishes in hardcopy and digital formats but is also the first academic publisher to have their e-books ready for multiple platforms (e.g., iPad, Nook, Kindle, Sony e-reader).

Cambria Press titles are also part of Google’s Book Search Program.  This allows prospective buyers to locate Cambria Press titles easily based on keyword searches.  Before they decide on a purchase, users can view full pages of a book, giving them the opportunity to peruse the book first and see if it is what they need.  This browsing capability is invaluable in offering the academic community a preview of the good works.

The books from Cambria Press are made available across many popular e-tailer sites.  They can be found on google.com, amazon.com, bn.com, among others.  Potential buyers are provided with helpful descriptions, reviews and gather other relevant information to make an informed purchase.  Being available on these high-traffic sites also helps the visibility of Cambria titles.

A global distribution system is thus another reason why Cambria Press titles enjoy placement in libraries of both universities and scholars all around the world.

 

Cambria Press – Reaching a Wide Audience

Cambria Press is known for providing excellent services to their prospective authors.  Based in Amherst, New York, Cambria Press is an independent academic publisher that focuses on academic and professional publications. Cambria Press is known for being an innovative publisher—Cambria is the first academic publisher to have books in various formats.

Among these are hardcover, paperback, pdf, and the increasingly popular electronic format.  Within their electronic formats, Cambria offers readers many options.  Publications can be read on the iPad, Nook, Kindle, Sony reader and other electronic devices.  Not only does this allow people to read publications by Cambria on the go, but it also permits them to make purchases without going to a brick-and-mortar store.  Compare this to other publishing companies which only publish hard copies of their books. Researchers have to refer to hundreds of works at once and more are taking all their books on one device not just for convenience but also to save time and money.

Cambria Press also markets its books internationally. Cambria titles are bought by libraries and scholars all around the world, from Asia to Africa.

It is the personal contact authors enjoy and great word of mouth that drive academics to work with Cambria Press. Authors are always kept in the loop. They are even provided with 24/7 access to their royalties through a web portal customized for them. Authors therefore do not need to wait weeks or months to learn about the sales of their books.
