Caw noun
The harsh, raucous and disruptive sound made by birds such as crows and rooks
Caw Press is small, experimental publishing company based in London (although at this stage more of an experiment than a proper company per se…). With a focus on light social science topics, our goal is to disrupt publishing by bringing together social scientists and the public in new ways. We are not a scholarly press publishing expensive books written by academics, primarily for academics. Nor are we a trade publisher producing books by academic celebrities and driven by what a literary agent or a commissioning editor thinks will sell. Instead, our goal is simple but radical: to produce popular social science by scholars without the middle man. This means our books are lively and informative, beautiful to look at, under the control of the scholars who write them, and, last but not least, don’t cost an arm and a leg.
