Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc.

Founded in 1949 by Walter Rowman and Arthur W. Littlefield (also the founder of the Barnes & Noble College Outline series), this highly respected publisher of academic and trade books in the social sciences and the humanities combines a 53-year tradition of excellence with a strong publishing vision for the 21st century. Over the past ten years a highly talented and experienced acquisitions and marketing team located in Maryland and Colorado has transformed R&L into one of the preeminent publishers of general interest trade and academic books, high-quality college textbooks, and scholarly books. Today, R&L offers authors the breadth and reach of a large publishing operation without sacrificing the personal attention of a smaller publishing house.

Through its distribution arrangement with sister company, National Book Network, R&L reaches chain and independent booksellers throughout North America, giving great visibility to its growing trade list of current events, political affairs, religion, and history titles. Sales offices in Canada and the United Kingdom anchor R&L's international marketing effort. R&L books routinely win critical acclaim in such publications as The New York Times Book Review, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Foreign Affairs, The New York Review of Books, The Times Literary Supplement, and other prominent newspapers, journals, and magazines as well as garner major broadcast interviews on networks through out the country.
