Business Description
The main offices of the Press are located on the campus of UMass Amherst in the historic East Experiment Station (1890) . The Press also maintains an editorial office at UMass Boston.
Founded in 1963, the University of Massachusetts Press is the book-publishing arm of the University of Massachusetts. We think of book publishing as a collaborative venture—a partnership between author and Press staff— and we work hard to see that our authors are happy with every phase of the process.
The Press imprint is overseen by a faculty committee, whose members represent a broad spectrum of University departments. New titles are approved by the committee after a rigorous process of peer review. The committee bases each of its decisions on the recommendations of the Press director and editors and on the written reports of at least two scholars in the field. Series editors also assist in this process.
Since its inception, the Press has sold more than 2,000,000 volumes. Today it has over 950 titles in print. Eight employees, along with student assistants and outside sales representatives, produce and distribute approximately forty new titles annually.
