Arc Humanities Press

Arc is a small, independent academic publisher of “edgy” interdisciplinary premodern studies. Our books can be found throughout the academic library sector, our authors are scholars in Humanities departments worldwide, and our readers are those same academics and their students. Our list is a mix of traditional and open access publishing, and we plan to transition to a model where 75% of our future longform publishing is open access through membership of Open Book Collective.
