Faenum Publishing
Faenum Publishing is an independent, open-access
publisher, focusing on Classical texts and commentaries. We are
interested in creating and disseminating work that for various reasons
falls outside the purview of traditional academic publishing. While no
author or text is out of bounds, we look for works that fall outside the
traditional canon of study, aiming to make a broad selection of
premodern literature available to a wider and more diverse audience.
We
seek to inhabit a space somewhere between old and new media, between
the structured world of the university press and wild, digital expanse
of the internet. Our goal is to be at home with both but restricted to
neither. While the prices of textbooks continue to rise, we use new
technology to make our texts available at low cost or no cost to you,
our readers. In exchange, we ask for one thing: your feedback. Unlike
traditional publishers, whose products receive intensive editing and
peer-review (and a price tag to match), we rely heavily on the input of
our readers to insure the quality of our texts. We update all digital
editions regularly, and the print-on-demand process allows us to make
revisions as often as errors are found. So if you have a comment, let’s
hear it! Have an idea for a text? Even better! Faenum is a place for
active students, not passive consumers. Here students of all
levels (the amateur, the seasoned scholar, the undergraduate, the
autodidact) can come together to read, to write, to teach, to learn, but
ultimately to contribute.
