As a non-profit, academic-led Open Access publisher, Pink Petals Publications prioritizes ensuring that high-quality academic books are freely accessible to readers worldwide. We firmly believe that access to scholarly work should not be contingent upon financial means. But, to cover the production, editing and publication along with the tech-support expenses, we charge a nominal fee as BPC.
We encourage authors to seek funding from their universities or other sources to help cover the costs of publishing their books. However, it's important to note that our decision to accept a manuscript for publication is solely based on the outcome of our rigorous peer-review process, independent of the availability of funding. Authors who lack funding are still regularly published by us. Authors can mail us directly with their book proposal for a discount on our BPC or wave-off the BPC.
Book Processing Charges (BPC)
At Pink Petals Publications, we are committed to bringing your manuscripts to life through meticulous editing, professional design, and global distribution. To ensure the highest standards of publication, we apply a nominal Book Processing Charge (BPC) for each manuscript.
