WHAT OUR AUTHORS SAY ABOUT US
“ I really enjoyed the experience of working with Channel View to develop an edited volume for their Tourism Studies collection. In these days of BIG publishing houses and the power they yield, it was refreshing to work with a familyowned publisher that really knows the field and cares about its relationships with scholars. From start to finish, the staff were accessible and supportive and ensured that we created a book we could be proud of. The relationship did not end when the book was printed – we got help with marketing, promotion at tourism conferences and advice and support to share it through social media and blogs. We had an impact on the tourism studies field with this work and this was in large part due to Channel View’s dedication and care.”
Freya Higgins-Desbiolles Co-editor of The Local Turn in Tourism
“ Working with Channel View experts was great. They provided all the support needed in editing an international publication. All questions were answered promptly and the collaboration worked well.”
Anu
Harju-Myllyaho Co-editor of Inclusive Tourism Futures
“ Working with the Channel View team is an absolute joy. Everyone on the team is handson, enthusiastic, and passionate about their work. From proposal to publication, I felt supported and included in every step of the process. They champion every author and make them feel valued. More importantly, they are all a good laugh and make me feel like I am a part of the Channel View family.”
Erdinç Çakmak
Co-editor of Changing Practices of Tourism Stakeholders in Covid-19 Affected Destinations and Tourism Paradoxes
“ Working with Channel View was such a positive experience. Communication with the team was always extremely professional with my queries addressed promptly and clearly. I always felt supported by your warm and friendly team (especially Sarah Williams) during the ups and downs of getting a book to publication. Thank you to all.”
Jennie Small Editor of The Passenger Experience of Air Travel
OPEN ACCESS
At Channel View Publications we are proud to offer the option of Gold Open Access immediately on publication. This is where the cost of publication is paid upfront in return for the publication being immediately accessible with no barriers to access.
When we publish a book Open Access, we ensure that the manuscript goes through exactly the same rigorous peer-review process that we use for all of our manuscripts. Similarly, we give Open Access titles the same marketing and promotional opportunities as our other titles.
We usually set an Open Access fee at approximately our break-even point on a project and we only make a profit from selling a printed version alongside the Open Access version. Hence it is in our best interests to put the same efforts into promoting your Open Access work as our traditional model publications.
Fees vary according to the complexity of a project but, for a guideline, please assume £100 per 1,000 words or approximately £25 per manuscript page. It is likely that the true cost will be less but we cannot guarantee this until we have seen the manuscript.
If you would like to discuss this option, please contact Anna Roderick (anna@channelviewpublications.com) to discuss the next steps.
