About the Publisher 

McFarland, a leading independent publisher of academic and 

general-interest nonfiction books, is perhaps best known for 

the serious treatment of popular culture. Founded in 1979, we are 

recognized among authors and readers as adventurous in range and 

a reliable source of worthy books that other publishers overlook. We 

have about 7500 unique works for sale and each year we publish about 

350 new titles. Meeting high library standards has been a major focus 

since the company began, and many McFarland books have received 

awards from the academic-oriented (e.g., Choice Outstanding Academic 

Title, ALA Outstanding Reference Work) to the mainstream 

(Hugo, Edgar, Stoker, and Eisner, among others). View our full catalog 

online at McFarlandBooks.com, with expanded book descriptions, 

additional book review quotes and author biographies. You can keep 

abreast of the newest publications and other buzz by following our 

social media sites and subscribing to our monthly newsletter. 

Becoming an Author 

McFarland welcomes proposals for nonfiction manuscripts, 

including multicontributor manuscripts and edited collections 

of essays, on a wide range of subjects. Authors, volume editors, and
