Protean Press Employee Directory

Writing and EditingUnited States2-10 Employees

Protean Press operates in the writing and editing arena, offering authors and publishing professionals a distinctive, experimental approach to trade publishing that blends traditional standards with contemporary online capabilities. It uses a risk- and profit-sharing model that places the majority of profits with the author and the creative team behind each project, aiming to redefine the traditional roles of author and publisher. The press does not function as a vanity press; it selects titles with real marketplace potential and earns profits only from sales, not upfront payments.

Targeting authors and publishing professionals who seek a selective path to publication, Protean Press emphasizes market readiness and shared upside. It reaches the market through online platforms, trade shows, a tailored marketing program, and distribution via National Book Network to bookstores worldwide, both online and in brick-and-mortar stores. Based in the United States, the company maintains a small team and concentrates on titles it believes can succeed commercially.
