NEW SERIES
Money-Making Titles Series
presented by Psammeticus Press
You know it. We know it. Everybody knows it. It’s just that none of us have been brave enough to admit it. Linguistics is a money-losing field. Your department loses money for the university. Your BA’s will earn roughly 94% less than their physical science friends. Your PhD’s won’t even make that much.
Here at Psammeticus Press, we lament this lamentable state of affairs, but our lamentations aren’t doing much for the bottom line. Apart from our wildly successful journal Linguistica ad Hominem, every single one of our periodicals and monographs is losing money. Lots of money. It’s time to do something to gain solvency, or we fear that our stockholder will pull the plug.
To that end, we bring you our Money-Making Titles Series, a new series of books on topics that actually interest real people. Let’s all hope these titles will underwrite the publication of more of our high-quality linguistic offerings.
