About
Liverpool University Press (LUP) is the UK’s third oldest university press, with a distinguished history of publishing exceptional research since 1899, including the work of Nobel prize winners. LUP has rapidly expanded in recent years and now publishes approximately 70 books and 21 journals a year, specialising in the modern languages, history, literature and visual culture. LUP is the only university press to have been shortlisted for the award of Academic and Professional Publisher of the Year by the Independent Publishers Guild, a distinction awarded in both 2012 and 2013. The award judges lauded the Press’s ‘rigorous academic schedules’ and deemed Liverpool University Press ‘a beacon of independent academic publishing’.
