What does NOVA Publish?

Nova publishes a wide array of non-fiction titles, that can be broken down into three categories: Science and Technology, Medicine and Health and the Social Sciences. We rarely publish memoirs, cookbooks or other types of non-fiction. If you are thinking about publishing with us, or need a recommendation on a different publisher, please contact Alexandra Columbus at a.columbus@novapublishers.com.

Why is my book not in Barnes & Nobles?

We provide all our Titles to Barnes & Nobles and similar retailers. It is then up to the bookstore to decide whether or not they would like to have the book available in their bookshops. In generally, since the books we publish are very specialized, our books normally fit better and are more likely to be adopted by more specialized bookstores, such as certain University bookshops. If there is a specific bookshop in which you would like your book included, please contact Lisa Gambino at marketing@novapublishers.com.

How do I request permission to use material from one of your titles?

We have partnered with Copyright Clearance Center for permission requests. Please go to Copyright.com and search by ISBN. For any additional requests, please contact Alexandra Columbus at a.columbus@novapublishers.com.

How long will it take for my book to be published?

From manuscript submission to having a book available normally takes a 4-6 month period. If an author needs a book available in time for a specific conference or event, please contact Alexandra Columbus at a.columbus@novapublishers.com.
