Melbourne University Press
There are presently no open calls for submissions.
Melbourne University Press publishes authoritative scholarly and trade non-fiction works of quality.
We publish books that align with Melbourne University’s academic strengths and reflect our place within Australia and Southeast Asia. Through our Miegunyah Press imprint we publish books that document our national story and history, and lavishly illustrated books in art, photography, architecture, gardens and more.
All scholarly MUP titles undergo two blind peer reviews and are evaluated by an Editorial Advisory Board.
MUP does not publish short stories, poetry, how-to guides or textbooks.
Do not send us hard-copy proposals – they will not be read. MUP is not responsible for any lost or misdirected manuscripts, photos or artwork.
Please allow three months for our team to review your proposal.
