Wesleyan University Press
The Wesleyan University Press, an important educational asset to the school, is well regarded for its books of poetry and books on music, dance and performance, American studies, and film. The Press serves Wesleyan students directly through its work programs during the academic year and its summer publishing internships. The Press also connects the campus to the larger intellectual and cultural world through the presence of its authors on campus, whether they are faculty, visiting scholars, guest lecturers, or participants in Wesleyan's Distinguished Writers Series or Writers Conference. Wesleyan is the smallest college or university to have its own press. Approximately 25 books are released each year.
