Caslon Publishing is an independent publisher located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We publish texts for professional educators that address contemporary challenges across a wide range of contexts in language and literacy education, and our work seeks to actively promote multilingualism and intercultural communication. Our publications make the latest academic research accessible and practicable to teachers, administrators, and policymakers so that these professionals are equipped to meet the language and literacy needs of their students, communities, and societies. We are passionate about the subjects in which we publish and about the books we make.

Caslon is committed to working closely with our authors throughout the publishing process to ensure that great ideas are developed into high-quality publications that reach the audiences that need them. We have developed a strong partnership with Multilingual Matters and Channel View Publications, an independent publisher based in the U.K. that has a similar business philosophy and complementary goals. Caslon publications are on display and for sale where Multilingual Matters has an exhibit, so please check out their exhibits!

Our consulting projects in the field of language education provide an important complement to our publishing endeavors. Our consultants work with schools, school districts, and departments of education locally, throughout the United States, and internationally in the areas of bilingual education, English as a second language, world or foreign language education, and heritage language education to develop policies, programs, and practices that meet the needs of the target population.

Caslon also provides services to publishers and authors, including consulting, project development, and project management. We have established a reputation for on time delivery, quality work, and fair pricing.
