The Value andnp Offers to Its Stakeholders

For Authors and Creators

andnp provides a place where authors and creators can carefully express their own experiences, thoughts, and ideas.

We also work with materials that may be difficult to handle in conventional publishing, such as personal records, long-term documents, and interdisciplinary themes.

Rather than judging a work only by its commercial category, we place importance on the value of its content.

Through publishing that also makes clear the background of a work and the ethical care behind it, we aim to connect authors and society in a sincere way.

For Specialists and Researchers

andnp publishes books in connection with fields related to human experience, including psychology, grief care, psychiatry, welfare, and related areas.

By organizing primary materials and first-person records, we provide books that may be useful as:

materials for deepening understanding in practice,
concrete records of psychological experience,
and sources for interdisciplinary discussion.

We also hope to serve as a bridge between the voices of people with lived experience and the knowledge of specialists in clinical and research settings.

For Bookstores and Distributors

Bookstores are one of the most important places where books and readers meet.

andnp supports both distribution through Kuwatani Shoten and direct transactions with bookstores.

We also make information such as bibliographic data, production background, and ethical considerations publicly available, so that bookstores can introduce our books to readers with confidence.

For Partners and Supporters

andnp’s publishing activities are supported by cooperation with many specialists and related people.

We work with professionals in fields such as psychology, medicine, welfare, and education, and aim to publish books with social meaning.

Through exchange with nonprofit organizations, research institutions, and other partners, we also hope to expand publishing as a place for social dialogue.

For Society

In modern society, people’s suffering and inner experiences are often left unspoken and eventually forgotten.

Through publishing, andnp values the act of preserving personal experience, first-person voices, and the inner journey of the heart.

For us, publishing is not only about making books.

It is also about leaving human experience as part of the record of society.
