Brandeis University Press Expands with UPNE Backlist By Alex Green | Apr 20, 2021
When the University Press of New England shuttered at the end of 2018, the region lost a unique publishing consortium with a diverse backlist that drew its collective strength from the specialization of its member presses. But UPNE’s backlist is not gone.
