University Press Week 2021<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Celebrating the many ways university press publishing has evolved and excelled over the last decade, the Association of University Presses has chosen \u201cKeep UP\u201d as the theme for this year\u2019s tenth annual University Press Week<\/a> (UP Week). The event runs from Monday, November 8, through Friday, November 12.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cKeep UP\u201d is significant in a time when great change has come to all quarters of book publishing and the media. For university presses, the past decade has presented opportunities that have allowed these nonprofit publishers to explore new ways to reach readers, amplify ideas, and sustain scholarly communities while remaining steadfast in their commitment to advancing knowledge. To mark a momentous and eventful decade of university press publishing and UP Week, this year AUPresses members have suggested a \u201cKeep UP Gallery\u201d and Reading List<\/a> that showcase books, journals, open access reading platforms, podcasts, and other efforts that put member university presses at the forefront of today\u2019s issues and ideas.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

AUPresses President, University of Georgia Press Director Lisa Bayer, agreed. \u201cAs the world changes, so do university presses, adapting subject areas, author lists, and publishing know-how to grow into an ever more diverse, ever more global community,\u201d she said. \u201cAn informed society is as important as ever, and we are proud to honor the forward-thinking work that has made university presses leaders in their fields and a force to keep up with.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Events and promotions during the week will celebrate these and other achievements of the past decade, as well as the bright future of university press publishing. The UP community will host online celebrations of this year\u2019s theme via a blog tour, and industry supporters such as Ingram, NetGalley, and Baker & Taylor also will mark the week online through special messages and marketing. A virtual panel focused on the strengths and challenges of university press publishing<\/a> organized by Seminary Co-op in Chicago, will take place on Wednesday, November 10, at 2 p.m. ET, featuring bestselling University of West Virginia Press author Deesha Philyaw, University of North Carolina Press Publisher John Sherer, Point Reyes Books owner and longtime bookseller Stephen Sparks, and Seminary Co-op\u2019s own Alena Jones. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
