Established in 1948, University of Queensland Press (UQP) is a publishing house known for its commitment to producing books of high quality and cultural significance. It has launched the careers of many Australian writers, such as David Malouf, Peter Carey, Kate Grenville, Doris Pilkington and Nick Earls.
Founded as a traditional university press, UQP has since branched into publishing books for general readers in the areas of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, Indigenous writing and youth literature.
UQP's books and authors have received national and international recognition through literary prizes, rights sales and writers’ festivals.
From 2010, UQP has been releasing selected out-of-print titles in digital formats, in addition to the digital and print publishing of new books.
