About us

Intellect is an independent academic publisher in the fields of creative practice and popular culture, publishing scholarly books and journals that exemplify our mission as publishers of original thinking. We aim to provide a vital space for widening critical debate in new and emerging subjects, and in this way we differ from other publishers by campaigning for the author rather than producing a book or journal to fill a gap in the market. 

We publish in four distinct subject areas: visual arts, film studies, cultural and media studies, and performing arts. These categories host Intellect’s ever-expanding topics of enquiry, which include photography, drawing, curation, community music, gaming and scenography. Intellect titles are often multidisciplinary, presenting scholarly work at the cross section of arts, media and creative practice. 

Intellect seeks to offer an unbiased platform for quality critical debate; we are committed to representing the author’s voice authentically, without imposition of our personal ideas or opinions. We place great emphasis on providing a service to our authors and editors. 

We have a robust international distribution arrangement, including partners such as the University of Chicago Press, Turpin Distribution, Gardners, Inbooks and Book Editions. Find out more about Intellect by reading our in-house full colour magazine, IQ.
