McGraw-Hill Australia is committed to keeping in touch with market trends and servicing particular needs. One such response has been the creation of the PRESSXPRESS imprint. Under this imprint we can publish specific customised publications in the most economical manner, without compromising on quality.

What can be published under the PRESSXPRESS imprint?

Scenario 1: You use only a couple of chapters from a local McGraw-Hill book, so feel unable to justify prescribing it to your students. In fact, it would be great to combine these chapters with another couple of chapters from a different local McGraw-Hill book.

Solution: PRESSXPRESS! We will custom publish a book for you with only the chapters you require. If you want to add some of your own material, we can do that too!

Scenario 2: A local McGraw-Hill book is out-of-print, and no other book on the market can take its place. What can you do?

Solution: PRESSXPRESS! If there are sufficient number of students enrolled in the course, we can arrange a small print run for you.

Scenario 3: You want to use your own workbook, study guide, lab manuals or software package in conjunction with a McGraw-Hill book. But who will handle the printing and distribution?

Solution: PRESSXPRESS! We can print and package these items with our book as a shrink-wrap. This ensures that all students receive a copy and takes the hassle out of organising the copying yourself.

Scenario 4: You have written your own stand-alone course material and prescribed it for the course. But who will handle the printing and distribution?

Solution: PRESSXPRESS! Let us handle the publishing process rather than your university or bookshop.

There are several distinct advantages to being published by a leading publishing company:

• Strong publishing presence in the tertiary market

  Your work will be published by a reputable global publishing company. We have best-selling books in every area that we publish, in both the university and TAFE markets, and we are one of the leading players in TAFE publishing. For the last three years we have won the prestigious 'Awards for Excellence in Educational Publishing' from TREAT for our contribution to the development of high quality education resources.

• Strategic publishing direction

  We have a clear, strategic focus to our publishing program and your work could very well complement our list. PRESSXPRESS also gives us the opportunity to publish for niche markets that are not within our mainstream publishing program.

• Timely publication

  We use high-speed electronic print presses for short runs, to ensure the material is delivered to your bookstores in time for students to purchase it. To guarantee this speedy production of your material, it is essential that you meet your agreed manuscript delivery dates to us.

• National and international distribution

  We have one of the largest distribution systems of any academic publishing company in Australia. We are responsible for distribution in Australia, the Pacific Islands, New Zealand and South Africa. Our head office is situated in Sydney, and we have regional offices in Melbourne and Auckland, with sales representatives in Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth and South Africa. Our multinational distribution network spans Europe, Asia, the US and Canada.

• Sales focus

  Our sales, marketing and editorial staff work closely together to plan an individual marketing strategy for each local publication. We can market your material so that it is used in as widely as possible, rather than just at your institution alone, and we can take the hassle out of marketing it yourself. Some of our strategies include product presentations, brochures, direct mail campaigns, telemarketing, bookstore promotions, advertising and attendance at academic conferences.

• Specialist and experienced editorial staff

  We have a strong tradition of publishing for the tertiary market, and have a highly experienced editorial and production team. You are ensured of complete professionalism at all times.

• Flexible pricing and negotiable royalty rates

  We will arrange a royalty payable to you that is based on net sales. This can be flexible in terms of pricing and packaging, depending on the type of publication, market demand and the experience of the author.
