About the press

Revision Pressworks publishes book-length works of revisionist scholarship — long-form arguments that reinterpret accepted facts in light of evidence the consensus has not yet caught up with. Our subject areas are history, prehistory, the natural sciences, and philosophy, with particular interest in the seams where these disciplines meet.

We are interested in writers who can hold a synthetic argument across many fields — and who can do so without losing the citation discipline that keeps such arguments honest.

Revisionist history, as we use the term, is the strict reinterpretation of the accepted facts. It is the work of looking again at what the record shows and asking whether the consensus reading still survives the evidence.

It is not alternative history, which fabricates facts to fit a preferred narrative. It is not conspiracy reframing, ancient-aliens speculation, or any of the genres in which provocation substitutes for argument. The distinction is the wall the press is built on.

The press is independent and author-funded. Paperback and eBook editions are produced through KDP for distribution reach; the Scholar's Edition, where one is offered, is handled directly with institutional and academic buyers.

We publish slowly. One title at a time, edited carefully, produced to last.
