Sidestone Press

About 15 years ago, Sidestone Press was born out of an archaeology student’s frustration with the lack of options available for publishing his thesis as a proper book. This student, Karsten Wentink, banded together with co-student Corné van Woerdekom and Sidestone Press was founded. While we have since become a household name in academic publishing in archaeology and anthropology, and are continuously expanding into other markets, our very name reflects our origins as archaeologists. At the time of our founding, Karsten & Corné were both busy studying various elements of the Dutch Neolithic Funnel Beaker Culture. Famous for its megalithic funerary structures known as ‘Hunebedden’, this brand-new publishing house was named after a structural element of these prehistoric monuments: the sidestone.
Open Science is central to our publishing philosophy: we believe that scientific information should be freely available to all. Through our own digital e-book library we guarantee that scientific information published through Sidestone Press is immediately freely available around the world. Our authors always retain the copyright of their research and are free to share PDFs of their work.
At Sidestone we pride ourselves on continuously innovating our production process so that we can offer good-looking, full-color books at affordable prices. Because with books, appearance does matter. We furthermore strive to keep the turn-around time from submission-to-publication as short as possible, and our prices as low as possible – both for the author and the person purchasing our books. In short, when you publish with us – your work stays yours, but is shared freely – and beautifully – with the world.
