Submissions

We welcome concepts for extended essays and short books that are provocative in regard to current thinking and practice in design and thought. This is not a series for purely academic studies in design. We are committed to supporting authors from a diverse range of backgrounds and career stages. We will strive for gender parity and to diversity with a global reach.
