British Academy Monographs

Since 1998 the British Academy has produced a series of monographs that has provided an excellent publishing opportunity and showcase for British Academy-supported early career researchers (British Academy Postdoctoral Fellows, British Academy International Fellowship award holders, and British Academy / Wolfson Fellows). 

If you are interested in publishing a Monograph with us, please see our guidelines linked below.

Volumes are available from Liverpool University Press. Since mid-2022, British Academy Monographs have been published open access.
