LOGOS the journal

LOGOS is not an academic journal, nor is it a news magazine. It is a forum where publishing professionals communicate with one another. Contributors are encouraged to express opinions, reflect personal experience, cite historic background and develop a thoughtful analysis leading to an informed view on the possible shape of the future.

LOGOS enables you, as publishing professionals, to understand how you personally fit into the global arena. It provides insight into the problems and achievements experienced by your peers and acts as a forum for debate on diverse issues which affect the future of the industry and all those concerned.

LOGOS is published four times a year and is mailed direct to subscribers. All print subscribers have full-text access to the online version of the journal and its entire archive. The average length is fifty-six pages, approximately four-fifths of which are devoted to in-depth articles, with the remainder carrying book reviews and editorial comment. Great store is set on readability. Editing is rigorous. Articles are not ephemeral. As a result, the volumes of LOGOS published since 1990 constitute a substantial work of reference.

The LOGOS philosophy

LOGOS is founded on the belief that publishers, authors, literary agents, editors, printers, designers, translators, indexers, typesetters, online publishing services, librarians, booksellers and, above all, readers, are indispensable to one another, and that this perception is ever more important in the digital/global age.

LOGOS has pioneered the idea that the printed word can and should cohabit constructively with the electronic formats, and routinely publishes articles exploring ways of realizing this concept. In the electronic era the role of the book in society is being redefined. This is, and will continue to be, a focus of debate in LOGOS.

LOGOS carries no advertising. It is a not-for-profit Foundation supported entirely by subscriptions.
