INVITATION FOR AUTHORS




Arts and Academic Publishing LLC invites authors to submit their book manuscripts for publication.  Authors do not need to submit through an agent, they incur no publication expenses and they receive royalties for books sold.  A complete compilation of author instructions may be found here.  We seek peer reviewed and copy edited manuscripts that are ready for layout and publication, although we offer review and editing services for those who need them.  Our fields of interest are scholarly works in any discipline and substantive literary works.

In writing (and speaking, for that matter), use precise, concise, original language.  Do not use jargon in place of plain language.  Avoid  such common grammatical weaknesses as misuse of reflexive pronouns, use of trite words and use of expressions with origins in bureaucracies.  Bureaucratic language adds little other than superfluous words to sentences, it often replaces clear language with obtuse constructions and, in some cases, it is grammatically incorrect.

Examples of overused language include:
