Founding Partner
Jeremy Beer has ten years’ experience working as an executive, manager, and editor in the publishing and nonprofit fields. He is a former vice president at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, where he served as the executive in charge of the publications and information systems divisions, managed a $2 million budget, and served as editor in chief of the institute’s award-winning press, ISI Books. Under his leadership, ISI Books grew from a start-up boutique press publishing six books per year to a substantial trade press publishing twenty-five books per year—including a New York Times best-seller—with annual revenues exceeding $1 million.

As editor in chief, Jeremy represented ISI Books at academic conferences, VIP meetings, and donor gatherings; identified new distribution and revenue channels; launched several major book series; and oversaw the planning and management of all aspects of the press’s acquisitions, manuscript editorial, production, sales, and marketing operations. During his tenure, he also crafted grant proposals that helped ISI attract major funding partners for its book, journal, and online publications programs.

Jeremy has published dozens of essays and articles on literary, social, and cultural issues in various academic and popular journals, including Perspectives on Political Science, First Things, Touchstone, the American Conservative, and the Utne Reader. He was the project director or editor in chief for four editions of a critically acclaimed essay-style college guide, Choosing the Right College, and the coeditor of American Conservatism: An Encyclopedia. He has lectured on topics related to culture, modernity, and religion at Georgetown University, Calvin College, national meetings of the American Political Science Association, and elsewhere.

Jeremy holds a doctorate in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin, where he held a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. He is currently a member of the Mars Hill Audio board of trustees.
