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.

Famous quotes containing the words university and/or press:
“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between “ideas” and “things,” both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is “real” or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)
“No government ought to be without censors; and where the press is free no one ever will.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
