The University of Georgia Press (UGAP) has selected Liverpool University Press (LUP) as its exclusive distribution partner for the UK and Europe, and non-exclusive partner for the rest of the world outside of the Americas. UGAP joins University of Michigan Press at the newly launched Liverpool Distribution Services, a new boutique sales, marketing and distribution service offered by LUP that aims to provide a genuine sense of transatlantic university press partnership.
UGAP Director Lisa Bayer said: “I have long admired Anthony Cond’s publishing acumen and the excellent reputation of Liverpool University Press. We are excited about this opportunity to distribute UGA Press books to a wider global audience.”
LUP Chief Executive Anthony Cond added: “We are thrilled to work with University of Georgia Press which, under the leadership of Lisa Bayer, combines first-class publishing with a strong sense of the university press mission. We look forward to amplifying the outstanding work of UGAP.”
The new agreement commences immediately, and orders will be supplied by LUP’s fulfilment partner, Wiley Distribution.
