Unlike other college presses, Hudson Whitman / Excelsior College Press publishes contemporary nonfiction in areas that support the academic interests of its parent institution. Excelsior College is a distance learning college with administrative offices in Albany, New York. Excelsior (formerly known as Regents College) has been committed to removing barriers of access and affordability to working students for forty years. The school is non-profit and primarily serves an adult population. Excelsior takes an innovative approach to education and is perhaps best known for its School of Nursing and its reputation as a military-friendly educator. It also offers a variety of degrees, including both a BA and a master’s degree in Liberal Studies. Excelsior College Press is seeking “books that make a difference” in the following areas: nursing, health care, business & technology, cyber security, criminal justice, alternative education, and, because of the large number of active duty and veteran students, military interest. They also have a special category, American Culture & Society, for surprises and exceptional writing that may not easily fit in a single category. They are especially interested in writing that looks at familiar problems in new ways, incorporates fresh insight or new attitudes, and includes voices and topics that may be underrepresented.
