Consulting

Radish Press offers experienced, knowledgeable support when you need it, informed by our broad skill set in a very niche space. From strategic and operational leadership, to community development, funding/business models, product development, user research, training and more, we’ve done it all. Throw in a figure-it-out mentality, there isn’t much we can’t do! And you don’t have to sell us on the value of what you’re doing when you’re pursuing greater access to research and education. We’re right in it with you.

Capacity Boost

The nature of most projects challenging the status quo in open scholarship means that there are always more ideas to pursue and work to do than brains available, and hiring permanent staff isn’t always an option. Radish Press offers flexibility when you need it, on a short to medium-term basis. We hit the ground running, working independently or as part of your team, whether on a specific project or grant, or to focus on that nagging problem that never quite makes it to the top of the priority list.

Strategy & Evaluation

A fresh set of eyes can do wonders. Radish Press can join your team at crucial moments to evaluate the situation, drawing on what you already know and gathering input from your communities, then translating them into strategic and operational recommendations. Whether you are starting something new, approaching a decision point or seeking a refresh, we’re here to help move you forward.

Workshops & Education

We’re nerds, pure and simple, and we love to share what we know about the world of open publishing. Let us share that enthusiasm with your communities — students, faculty, members, fellows — to support them to share their work with the world in more meaningful ways, for them and their communities. We cover storytelling, tools/processes and community engagement approaches, all in pursuit of greater impact in the ways that matter.
