Yes. AUP authors, including editors of and contributors to edited volumes, are entitled to a 40% discount on the sales price, excluding shipping or applicable sales taxes, on purchases of your book or any other publications by AUP.

The number and format of complimentary copies vary from each project, but as a general rule, we supply:

• Single-author monographs & single-editor volumes: five complimentary copies for the author/editor
• Double-author monographs & double-editor volumes: three complimentary copies per author/editor
• Triple-author monographs & triple-editor volumes: two complimentary copies per author/editor

Contributors to edited volumes will either receive one hard-complimentary copy and a PDF of their chapter or the eBook PDF and a PDF of their chapter, depending on the project.

Depending on your project, we will agree with you at the proposal stage on whether or not you will have images in your book. Images can increase the cost of your project. Extra costs often can be reduced by finding an external subsidy.

This is possible through Green Open Access. We support and actively encourage authors to share an appropriately credited author's version of academic book chapters, monographs and journal articles on institutional repositories, their personal website, and on websites such as ResearchGate or Academia.edu. The author’s version is the manuscript after peer-review and accepted for publication, for instance as Microsoft Word file, RTF or PDF, but not the AUP print proof or final PDF.

There is no charge to publish with us. However, depending on your needs and the project, we may ask for a subsidy to cover the extra costs that come with, for example, publishing in non-regular formats, the inclusion of images, or the requirement for special typesetting or extra copyediting. You will be able to discuss with the commissioning editor your needs and whether or not they require a subsidy.
