ABOUT PIXELIA

Pixelia publishes editions of literary works edited collaboratively, in most cases, by groups of students and teachers. Our two goals are to create well-designed, accessible resources for readers, and to give students hands-on experience with public-facing scholarly work. In our view, these are complementary aims. The close involvement of students invariably makes our books better—more innovative, more balanced, and more responsive to student needs—than they would be if the lead editors had created them on their own.

Most of our editions are of texts that, while significant and interesting, are rarely taught in high school and college. The Experrecta series, for example, recovers Latin texts written by women, thus challenging a long-standing imbalance in the field of Classics. The Forgotten Contemporaries of Jane Austen series uses some of the minor writers of Austen’s day to shed new light on her life and work. Other books in our collection treat works that are well-known but, in the absence of a good student edition, rarely taught, such as our three-part edition of Caesar’s Gallic War, Book VII. Still others, like our tiered Latin readers, explore new formats and approaches to literary pedagogy.

We believe that all students deserve access to high-quality educational resources regardless of their financial situation. We make all of our books available in two ways: as affordable paperbacks, and as freely downloadable PDFs.

As a non-profit organization, we make our financials and annual statements available for public inspection.
