It publishes work by scholars from the global academic community; works of fiction, memoir and poetry under its imprint, Terrace Books; and serves the citizens of Wisconsin by publishing important books about Wisconsin, the Upper Midwest, and the Great Lakes region.
UW Press annually awards the Brittingham Prize in Poetry, the Felix Pollak Prize in Poetry,[2] and The Four Lakes Prize in Poetry.[3]
The press was founded in 1936 in Madison and is one of more than 120 member presses in the Association of University Presses.[4] The Journals Division was established in 1965.
