Mission and Values

We are small independent publishers who aspire to standards of academic quality as high as those of the best international scholarly publishers, and to a friendliness and personal touch that far exceeds them. Both in journal and book publishing, we offer intelligent, flexible and individual treatment from editors with academic backgrounds and writing experience. We are strongly values-driven, both in terms of our commitment to a publishing agenda that offers an incisive humanities perspective on current environmental issues and of our efforts to support early career researchers and scholars from less-resourced backgrounds.

Governance

The White Horse Press is a Limited Liability Partnership and, as an entity, makes no profits. Proceeds each year are sufficient to provide each partner with a decent living wage. WHP was founded in 1991 by Alison and Andrew Johnson, based on the Isle of Harris and still actively involved; in recent years they have been joined by Sarah Johnson, in Cambridgeshire, and James Rice, Sarah’s cousin, Alison’s nephew, in Edinburgh. The four partners carry out the majority of editorial, design, technical and business work, aided at times by several longstanding freelancers. The partners have direct oversight of every area of the Press and between us read, often more than once, everything we publish.
