University of Massachusetts Press

Founded in 1963, the University of Massachusetts Press is the book-publishing arm of the University of Massachusetts. The Press imprint is overseen by a faculty committee, whose members represent a broad spectrum of departments. In addition to publishing works of scholarship, the Press produces books of more general interest for a broader audience.

Since its inception, the Press has sold more than 1,800,000 volumes. Today it has over 900 titles in print. Thirteen employees, along with student assistants and outside sales representatives, produce and distribute approximately forty new titles annually. The Press is a member of the Association of American University Presses and maintains editorial offices in Amherst and Boston.
