Stylus Publishing was founded in 1996 as a distributor and marketing service for independent publishers and NGOs, and as a publisher of books for the higher education community. In 2008, Stylus acquired Kumarian Press, a company with 30 years experience publishing on international development topics. Between our own publishing programs and those of nearly 20 distributed publishers, we carry over 4,000 titles, all of which are searchable on our website at styluspub.com Our mission is to effectively market to all appropriate constituencies on behalf of our authors and client publishers. We sell through all channels: bookstores, libraries, and wholesalers; direct mail, e-mail promotion, and exhibits at professional conferences reaching professional and academic audiences; online booksellers and through relationships with book clubs, specialist outlets, and the media.
