Arch Street Press

independent nonprofit publisher dedicated to the collaborative work of creative visionaries, social entrepreneurs and leading scholars worldwide

In developing new projects, Arch Street Press focuses on incubating innovative and valuable content with the potential to shape new markets. To achieve this vision, our creative team actively seeks collaborations with innovators, leaders, researchers, social entrepreneurs and other creators engaged in research, practice and leadership relevant to breakthroughs in human evolution and development. 

While some innovators may be able to articulate their ideas independently, others may benefit from engagement in a collaborative process. This teamwork may include refining, testing, experimenting and reflecting in order to capture and illustrate ideas in text and images. Arch Street Press engages with a broad range of thinkers and practitioners.  While many gifted writers have influenced the course of intellectual evolution, there are also many innovators whose influence has benefited from collaboration. Among others, Socrates, Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu and Confucius are believed to have written nothing in their own hand; their powerful ideas were disseminated through collaborative communities. Even prolific and articulate thinkers have sometimes required assistance in making their ideas broadly accessible, including Hegel, Kant, Heidegger and Derrida.

Arch Street Press welcomes traditional manuscript submissions and book proposals. We also invite requests for creative collaboration involving the development of new frameworks and models in specific arenas of theory and practice. We approach each such relationship individually and on its own merits.
