COMPANY PROFILES
Each company has a distinct identity and product line. Some houses are very commercial; others are very literary. Some are small and independently owned; others have hundreds of employees and are part of huge corporations. Some are driven by profit, while others are not-for-profit and operate primarily to contribute to our culture. Some specialize in fiction, while others are experts in an academic discipline. Some target adults; others cater to children.
To find the best fit, you may want to match your personal goals and talents with the goals and talents of the publishing house. (See also: Types of Publishing)

| Description: |
The MIT Press is the only university press in the United States whose list is based in science and technology. This does not mean that science and engineering are all we publish, but it does mean that we are committed to the edges and frontiers of the world -- to exploring new fields and new modes of inquiry. (For a time we described our publishing program as chasing "The Moving Frontier," but we've moved beyond even that.) We publish about 200 new books a year and over 30 journals. We are a major publishing presence in fields as diverse as architecture, social theory, economics, cognitive science, and computational science, and we have a long-term commitment to both design excellence and the efficient and creative use of new technologies. Our goal is to create books and journals that are challenging, creative, attractive, and yet affordable to individual readers. |
