"Supporting the publishing program of Wayne State University Press ensures that history will be preserved for all of us and for future generations."
- Mary Lou Zieve, Chairman, WSU Press Board

Detroit’s educational and cultural institutions are essential resources that make our region a great place to live and work.  The Wayne State University Press combines an educational mission with a commitment to publishing and promoting Michigan writers and works of local interest and national importance.  Thank you for your interest in sustaining our region’s nonprofit publisher – a publisher that strives to present remarkable works that do not fit the traditional trade publishing mold.
