Meet the Editor

Ellen Pearce, Commissioning Editor

I joined Bristol University Press in 2022 from Edward Elgar Publishing. It's great to be working for a not-for-profit publisher with a strong social mission, publishing high quality books that have true impact. As the editor for business management and economics, I enjoy working on books that can make a difference, for academics, students and general readers. Supporting a project from an initial idea to a published book is a real privilege.

Our business, management and economics list seeks to unsettle the status quo, offering fresh perspectives on the future of work and organisations, the economy and the relationship between business and wider society for academic, professional and general readers.

If you are interested in submitting a proposal to our Business, Management and Economics list, please contact me at ellen.pearce@bristol.ac.uk and visit our information for authors page to download our proposal guidelines.
