PRESS KITS

Press kits for authors of many of our recent titles are available via the web pages for their books, or by request. For more information, call our publicity manager, phone: (608) 263-0734, email: publicity@uwpress.wisc.edu.

When press kits are available, they contain a downloadable web-ready image of the book's cover, and a larger, downloadable 300 dpi image of the cover for printed publicity.
