Based in Boulder, Colorado, Lynne Rienner Publishers is an independent publisher founded in 1984 that concentrates on scholarly and textbook titles. The catalog spans international studies and comparative politics across all regions, US politics, military history, and sociology and criminology with a US focus, and it also includes a modest list of literature in translation featuring authors such as Naguib Mahfouz, Ghassan Kanafani, Derek Walcott, and Tawfiq al-Hakim. Beyond its core imprint, the company oversees FirstForumPress and Kumarian Press, each advancing distinct scholarly agendas. Editorial and production work is conducted locally, with a full process from external review to copyediting, typesetting, and proofreading, followed by quality manufacturing and worldwide distribution. The press maintains distribution relationships with clients such as Holmes & Meier Publishers and Kyungnam University Press and strives to keep prices as accessible as possible.
