Academic & passion projects
Turning well-researched manuscripts into beautifully made books.
Since 2002, Longueville Media has published a wide range of academic works and personal passion projects for clients across Australia and beyond.
Our authors include academics, emeritus professors, research associates, retired diplomats, and visiting scholars — individuals with deep expertise and a well-researched manuscript on a focused topic. These are often personal, meaningful works that deserve careful and considered publication. We call them passion projects.
At Longueville Media, we offer a more flexible and responsive publishing process than traditional academic publishers. Our approach allows for greater editorial input, customised design, and faster turnaround — without compromising on quality. With our strong background in the humanities and social sciences, we are particularly well-placed to publish monographs, research-based works, and niche-interest titles.
With a dedicated team of editors, designers, and manuscript developers, we guide your project from manuscript to finished book — typically within six months of delivery.
Whether your work is academic or deeply personal, we ensure it becomes a publication you can be proud of.
Our books include:
The most comprehensive history of East Timor, by retired Ambassador, the late James Dunn
A biography of the English Architectural prodigy and polymath, John Sulman by Zeny Edwards
A guide to innovative technology in smart building design by international expert Bruce Duyshart
A collection of essays covering the founding of the United Nations, edited by Emeritus Professor James Cotton
An examination of lost opportunities for peace during the Great War by retired Professor Douglas Newton, and
An examination of American ascendancy in the 21st Century by diplomat and academic, the late Dr Coral Bell, one of Australia’s leading figures on international relations and foreign policy.
Longueville Media’s proven process for book production ensures that your publishing journey is enjoyable and successful.
Marketing process
The reason you publish your book is simple: to tell your story and document the events you have written about for posterity.
The sales and marketing process we offer includes inclusion on the two largest online bookselling platforms for the international market: Ingram and Amazon. We are also able to give you advice on how to approach bookshops and to help lift sales of your book.
