ABOUT US

Who We Are

Myers Education Press is a forward-thinking academic publisher dedicated to producing high-quality books, e-books, and digital content in the field of education. We collaborate with many of the field’s leading voices to publish impactful research and scholarship—work that is especially vital in an era when education faces significant challenges.

At our core, we are an author-centered press. Whether you’re an educator seeking a powerful classroom text or a scholar looking for a responsive, professional publishing experience, we are committed to supporting you every step of the way.

The majority of our publishing program is directed to Colleges of Education, with books and content created for preservice teachers, faculty and administrators. But we also publish books in many related areas of academia.

Our Publishing Program—the Critical Areas of Education Publishing

Myers Education Press is passionate about what’s important in education today, taking into account the needs of all students and teachers. We’re dedicated to many areas of education. Some of them include:

In addition, we are constantly looking for ways to expand our program to include new concepts and theories, so we would love to hear about your ideas.

What We Do for Our Authors

At Myers Education Press, we’re more than a publisher — we’re your partner. From your first spark of an idea to the moment your book is in readers’ hands, we work alongside you every step of the way to ensure your work receives the care, expertise, and attention it deserves.

Our commitment to authors includes:

• Developmental editing: Collaborating closely to shape your ideas into a compelling, publishable book.
• Expert content curation: Rigorous peer review, meticulous copyediting, and professional production at every stage.
• Cutting-edge technology: High-quality print and e-books created with the latest publishing tools and platforms.
• Innovative marketing and promotion: Targeted strategies to maximize the reach and impact of your work.
• Global reach: Partnerships with leading industry and international networks to connect your book with a diverse, worldwide readership.

We take pride in everything we publish because your success is our success. If your book doesn’t look good, neither do we — and if our textbooks don’t excel in the classroom, we haven’t done our job.

What We Do for Our Customers

Our books reach a wide range of readers — from library collections and classroom adoptions to individual researchers. No matter who our customers are, we stand by four core principles: fair pricing, innovative content, superior production quality, and exceptional service.

At Myers Education Press, customers can connect with us in whatever way works best for them — online, through trusted third-party partners, or directly with our knowledgeable customer service team. However you choose to reach us, your satisfaction is our priority.

Our Pricing Policy

We believe academic books should be accessible—not priced out of reach. At Myers Education Press, we reject the idea that scholarly work should be published solely for institutional libraries or sold at prohibitive prices.

Students will only buy books that they can afford. The same goes for you and your colleagues. That’s why we offer high-quality, affordably priced paperback editions and even more economical e-book formats, distributed through nearly every major digital platform.

For authors, transparency is also central to our process: prior to publication, we confirm the pricing and format of each book with our author—no surprises, just a fair and sustainable publishing model that respects both authors and readers.

The People Who Make It All Happen

Who is Chris Myers?

Chris Myers has more than 30 years of publishing experience — most of it in the field of education. At Peter Lang Publishing, he built an award-winning education list and served as both editor and managing director. He also gained valuable trade publishing expertise at Crossroad Publishing, a leading press in religion and spirituality.

Known throughout the industry as an innovative, author-focused publisher, Chris has worked with many of the most influential voices in education and helped launch the careers of a large number of emerging scholars—many of whom are now recognized leaders in their fields. His deep knowledge of academic publishing, paired with a passion for nurturing ideas and talent, guides everything we do at Myers Education Press.

While developing the concept that would become Myers Education Press, Chris committed to publishing new and innovative scholarship—not simply duplicating the work of other presses. That commitment has paid off: the MEP publishing program has earned an unprecedented number of academic book awards, a testament to the originality, quality, and impact of its authors’ work.

The Team

In our company headquarters in Windham, Maine, the two key people responsible for keeping things running smoothly are Stephanie Gabaree, our Production Manager, and Emily Jansen, our Marketing Director. In addition, Myers Education Press works with a hugely talented list of series editors, content advisors and freelancers who have extensive experience in academic publishing. These folks are the backbone of our process and we’re grateful that they lend us their talent.

Our Partners

Our sister company, Stylus Distribution, is responsible for the marketing and promotion of our books and electronic content. In addition to MEP, they work with a variety of independent publishers and research institutions. They have a clear understanding of the field of education, one that has served as an essential partner since our inception. We have greatly benefitted from their clear marketing grasp. Our international partner, The Mare Nostrum Group, is responsible for marketing and distributing our books to worldwide markets outside of the Americas.

In addition, we work with manufacturers, literary agencies, regional distributors and foreign presses around the world to be certain that your book reaches a global audience.

Quality

Quality is tantamount to every aspect of our publishing program. We take great care working with each of our authors to assure the best possible editorial content in each of our books. Our books are printed on paper that meets the requirements of the American National Standards Institute and sources from sustainable forests. Our customer service is second to none.

One measure of the quality of our publishing program is the fact that we have won more than 60 book awards from a variety of academic organizations and review media.
