Wesleyan University Press has a distinguished history of scholarly and creative excellence that has spanned over 1,500 books since 1957. But, like other nonprofit organizations, we have a limited budget and welcome donations to help us maintain our prestigious publishing program. When you give to the Press, you invest in groundbreaking and award-winning work of poets and scholars from across the world. Outside funding directly supports copyediting and design, artwork, typesetting and printing, and marketing activities for individual titles and for our highly-regarded series in poetry, music, and dance.
To make an online donation to the Press, visit the Wesleyan University online giving site.
When you have selected the type of giving, you will be prompted to select a designation for your gift (“Where do you want your gift to make an impact?”). Please select “Other” and type “Wesleyan University Press.”
