Kismet Press is an independent, academic publishing house. We were founded in 2015 by four PhD colleagues based in Leeds, UK. Two of those founding members remain as the partners and editors-in-chief. While our individual specialist experiences are with early medieval European history, we are interested in publishing works which cover any areas of the arts, humanities and social sciences.
We are currently working on improving the contents of this page. Feel free to get in touch if you have urgent questions!
Open Access, free for all
We are committed to Open Access and to the ideal that knowledge should be both freely available to readers and free to produce for authors. All our books will always be free to read. We currently make this possible by using archive.org, a wonderful resource that is under attack by those who do not understand its purpose. Our books are also available as reasonably priced ebooks, and physical books in either hardback, paperback or both. Where authors have chosen to waive their royalties, ebooks are free to download. We do not charge author processing fees, so publishing with us will not cost you any money.
