Launching this list in time for #APSA2024. University of Michigan Press authors, your books aren't just of interest to your colleagues. What you write matters to the world. Want us to publish your book #OpenAccess? We'd love to. Don't have any money for a subvention? We'll cover the costs.

Fun to look back at the surge in usage that University of Michigan Press books experienced in 2024 as our "Fund to Mission" #openaccess program (see video) gains momentum. 10,000 accesses per OA book on average, but human reader stories are the best. ebc.press.umich.edu/stories/2025-0…
