Policy Press, an imprint of Bristol University Press, is committed to publishing the highest quality international scholarship in the social sciences and aligned disciplines. As a not-for-profit university press, our vision is to publish evidence-based work that makes an impact in the world.

I’ve been at Policy Press for ten years and have had several roles in the commissioning team. I enjoy meeting existing and potential authors and talking through their research. Seeing a project evolve from inception of a potential book idea to publication is especially rewarding.

Social Policy is at the heart of Policy Press, and with the launch of Bristol University Press taking on the broader social sciences, we are excited to be able to bring Policy Press back to its roots, publishing in the core social sciences to highlight social issues, advance debates and positively influence policy and practice.

As the leading publisher in Social Policy with strong links to the Social Policy Association, we are proud to have changed the landscape of publishing in social and public policy over the past 20 years. We have led the way on conversations around inequality and social injustice with authors such as Kayleigh Garthwaite, Danny Dorling, Pete Alcock, John Hills and the late Peter Townsend - and published some of the most important cutting-edge research in this field.

We are actively looking to publish broad research that fills a clear gap in the current literature, pushing forward knowledge. We are especially looking for international and comparative works for our new book series Research in Comparative and Global Social Policy. If you are interested in writing for our Social Policy list, please contact Laura at laura.vickers@bristol.ac.uk or visit our information for authors page on our website to download our proposal guidelines.
