University of Washington Press

The University of Washington Press is the oldest and largest publisher of scholarly and general interest books in the Pacific Northwest. We publish compelling and transformative work with regional, national, and global impact. We are committed to the idea of scholarship as a public good and work collaboratively with our authors to produce books that meet the highest editorial and design standards. We value and promote equity, justice, and inclusion in all our work. For nearly 100 years, the press has supported the University of Washington’s research, education, and outreach missions by publishing vital new work for an international community of scholars, students, and intellectually curious readers. Reporting to the Dean of University Libraries, the press’s imprint is overseen by a tri-campus press committee of UW faculty. An advancement board of community volunteers supports the press’s fundraising program.
