What is your editorial focus?

The main mission of Long River Press is to publish books that promote a deeper understanding and appreciation of Chinese history, society, and culture. Our books appeal to a general interest and an academic audience, as well as anyone with an interest in Chinese history, art, culture, and society.

Our work ethic is to maintain the highest possible editorial and production standards for book publishing.
