Need Help or Have Feedback?

If you experience any difficulty accessing information on our website, we want to hear about it.
  • What page or feature you were trying to access
  • Describe the issue you encountered
  • Share your device, browser, or assistive technology (if relevant)
  • Let us know the best way to contact you

Measures We Take

We incorporate accessibility considerations into the design, development, and maintenance of the Publishers of New York website.

  • Clear and logical heading structures
  • Consistent navigation throughout the website
  • Sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds
  • Legible typography and appropriate text spacing
  • Alternative text for meaningful images
  • Keyboard-accessible controls and navigation
  • Visible keyboard focus indicators
  • Proper labels and instructions for forms
  • Accessible validation and error messages
  • Responsive layouts for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
  • Descriptive links and buttons
  • Semantic HTML and appropriate page landmarks
  • Reduced reliance on color alone to communicate meaning
  • Support for browser zoom and text enlargement
  • Consideration of reduced-motion preferences
We periodically review important user journeys, particularly manuscript submission, consultation scheduling, contact forms, and access to publishing resources.

Keyboard Navigation

We aim to make essential website features usable without requiring a mouse or touch screen. Visitors using a keyboard should generally be able to:

  • Navigate the main menu
  • Move between links and buttons
  • Access forms
  • Submit a manuscript
  • Use search functionality
  • Navigate frequently asked questions
  • Access downloadable resources
  • Use consultation-scheduling controls where supported
  • Reach important calls to action
Interactive elements should display a visible focus indicator so users can identify which element is currently selected. We also aim to maintain a logical keyboard navigation order that follows the visual and informational structure of each page. If you encounter a section of the website that cannot be operated effectively using a keyboard, please let us know.

Assistive Technologies

Publishers of New York aims to build its website in a way that supports commonly used assistive technologies.

  • Semantic HTML
  • Meaningful page titles
  • Proper heading hierarchy
  • Navigation landmarks
  • Descriptive alternative text
  • Clearly labeled form controls
  • Descriptive links
  • Appropriate status and error messages
  • ARIA attributes where they provide meaningful accessibility improvements
Our goal is to make important website information understandable when accessed through screen readers, screen magnification tools, voice-control software, and other assistive technologies. Because combinations of browsers, operating systems, and assistive technologies can behave differently, we cannot guarantee identical performance in every possible configuration. We welcome feedback when a particular technology or device creates an accessibility barrier.

Forms & Documents

Our website contains forms and downloadable materials that support important publishing activities.

  • Manuscript submission forms
  • Contact forms
  • Publishing consultation forms
  • Newsletter subscriptions
  • Media inquiries
  • Rights and permissions requests
  • Fraud reports
  • Accessibility feedback forms
  • Author resources and checklists
  • Policies and publishing guides
We aim to make forms accessible by providing clear labels, understandable instructions, keyboard support, required-field identification, and useful error messages. Where practical, newly created public-facing documents and PDFs will be prepared with accessibility in mind. Some older or third-party documents may not yet meet the same accessibility standard. If you are unable to access a document, contact us and we will make reasonable efforts to provide the same information in another usable format.

Known Limitations

Despite our efforts, some website content or functionality may not yet be fully accessible to every visitor.

  • Older PDF documents
  • Archived content created before current accessibility practices were adopted
  • Third-party embedded tools
  • External retailer or distributor websites
  • Certain payment or appointment-scheduling interfaces
  • Historical images that may not yet contain complete descriptions
  • Audio or video material created before current accessibility standards were implemented
Some of these services are operated by third parties and are not fully under the control of Publishers of New York. We do not consider accessibility work finished simply because a page has been published. When barriers are identified, we aim to evaluate them and make reasonable improvements or provide an alternative means of accessing the information.

Third-Party Services

Some parts of the Publishers of New York website may connect to or rely on services operated by third parties.

  • Appointment scheduling platforms
  • Payment processors
  • Book retailers
  • Distributors
  • Audiobook platforms
  • Embedded video or audio services
  • Newsletter providers
  • Social-media platforms
  • Analytics services
  • File-transfer systems
We do not control the accessibility of independently operated third-party websites or applications. Where third-party technology is important to the author or visitor experience, we aim to consider accessibility when selecting, configuring, or replacing those services. If a third-party feature creates a barrier, please contact us. Where reasonably possible, we will help you access the information or complete the requested action through an alternative method.

Ongoing Accessibility

Accessibility is an ongoing process rather than a one-time website project.

As Publishers of New York grows, we may add:
  • New books and authors
  • Journal articles
  • Publishing resources
  • Videos and audio
  • Manuscript tools
  • New forms
  • Marketing features
  • Distribution resources
  • Third-party integrations
  • New website functionality
We aim to consider accessibility as part of the design and development of new content and features.
Our ongoing efforts may include:
  • Reviewing high-traffic pages
  • Testing important forms and user journeys
  • Monitoring accessibility feedback
  • Correcting identified issues
  • Improving older content
  • Reviewing new website features before launch
  • Updating accessibility practices as standards and technology evolve
Feedback from visitors plays an important role in helping us identify barriers we may otherwise miss.
