Sidestone Series

Sidestone is a publishing partner for various institutes (see our list of partners for full descriptions). In addition to new series, we also publish established series. For several academic organizations, we have taken over their existing publication series which became too time consuming and too expensive to produce. Using our unique publishing model we have breathed new life into these series.

As an organization’s co-publisher, Sidestone can take care of all matters related to book production, layout & design, printing and distribution, worldwide sales and online digital availability. If you wish to find out what Sidestone could do for you or your organization, please feel free to contact us

HotAcademia

HotAcademia is a pioneering international series that covers hotly-debated academic topics in archaeology, history, anthropology, and museum studies, in an unconventional, non-academic form, while maintaining scientific accuracy. It invites editors and authors to step outside the box of traditional academic thinking and writing, and challenges them to create books which provide exciting journeys for their readers. Addressing both professional and non-professional audiences, the books in this series aim to bring novelty and impact by making readers pause and re-think.
