​​​​​We are happy to announce the launch of our “International Book Publishing Support Service” for researchers in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Are you considering turning your PhD thesis into a book? Or the results of an academic conference? Maybe you have an idea for a monograph and would like to know how to submit a proposal? And who is the “right” publisher for you, anyway? At KURA, we will gladly assist you at any step of the publication process, so please don’t hesitate to contact us. More information, including an FAQ and publisher profiles, can be found on our new portal site (see links below).
