What We Publish

LCR Publishing publishes meaningful scholarly or technical work that falls outside the strict format of the academic monograph. Not limited by field or topic, these books represent scholarship at its cutting edge.

We do not publish general-interest books, genealogies or local histories, biographies and autobiographies, literature, or works that require additional peer review.

The Publishing Process
