Sponsored Publishing

Turn your professional expertise into a published book with Australian Academic Press.

For more than 35 years, Australian Academic Press (AAP) has published respected titles in psychology, human behaviour, education, and health — helping professionals share ideas that change lives and strengthen practice.

Now, through our Sponsored Publishing Program, we’re offering selected professionals the opportunity to invest in their own book project — published under the trusted AAP imprint and distributed globally through our established retail and academic channels.

This is a professional publishing partnership, designed for experts who want to turn their experience, frameworks, and insights into a credible book that enhances both professional reputation and impact.

What’s included

Each sponsored publishing partnership includes:

• Complete editorial and design services — professional editing, marketing flyer, typesetting, cover design, ISBN, barcoding, and production
• Global distribution — your book is available through national and international retail networks
• Author copies — up to 400 copies included, ready for client sales, workshops, or speaking engagements
• Ongoing royalties — up to 80% of net receipts
• Professional credibility — publication under the AAP imprint, trusted by psychologists and educators across Australia and worldwide

Why invest in sponsored publishing

Publishing a professional book is more than a creative achievement — it’s a strategic investment in your intellectual capital.

A book under the AAP imprint can help you:

• Establish authority in your area of expertise
• Expand your practice, consultancy, or training reach
• Create a lasting product that generates both influence and income
• Build new business opportunities for workshops and keynote speaking

Indicative investment

Publishing packages vary depending on project scope, size, and service needs. As a guideline, your investment could range between $5,000 and $15,000 (AUD). This is offset by tangible value: author copies you can sell or use, high royalty rate, and the professional visibility that only a published book can provide.

Who this opportunity is for

• Psychologists ready to share evidence-based practice or innovative frameworks
• Organisational consultants, coaches, and trainers who use proprietary models or programs
• Applied researchers seeking to reach practitioner or client audiences
• Behaviour professionals seeking a credible, guided publishing path without losing creative control
