Support West Virginia University Press and help us carry out our mission to publish important and carefully crafted books for readers in the state, across the country, and around the world using WVU Press Journals - 2V867.
West Virginia University Press—as the only university press and the largest publisher in the state of West Virginia—strives to publish the very best work in its areas of specialization. Like most respected university presses, we publish books because of their significance and impact rather than their commercial viability. While sales cover a significant portion of our costs, donations help us carry out our mission.
Every book WVU Press publishes requires an extraordinary number of services and materials, many of them invisible to the reader. Editing, indexing, typesetting, proofreading, color correction, cover design, printing, binding, shipping, marketing—the costs for even the simplest book are significant, because we take the craft of publishing seriously and invest a great deal in it.
Our award-winning titles are made possible by support from generous individuals and institutions. Your gift allows the Press to:
- Publish works that contribute to international scholarship and secure recognition for WVU and the Press, but may not always recover their costs through sales;
- Publish important, beautiful, and thoughtful books about West Virginia and Appalachian culture;
- Develop ambitious long-term projects showcasing areas in which West Virginia, WVU, and the Press are recognized as established or emerging leaders.
By donating to WVU Press Journals - 2V867 you will provide essential support so that West Virginia University Press can continue to publish important and influential books for readers in the state, across the country, and around the world.
