Why Yellowback?
Yellowback is inspired by the inexpensive yellow-covered paperbacks that were a revolution in making books accessible to mass audiences in the nineteenth century. In the twenty-first century, it is easier than ever to put things out into the world but there is increasing competition for the attention of the right audience. Yellowback combines expertise in detailed editing, image selection and presentation with its networks in the academic, publishing and cultural sectors to help authors communicate with the right people, in the right way.
