University of Queensland Press to Partner with ReadHowYouWant

I’m very happy to announce a new publishing partner – University of Queensland Press (UQP).

UQP - http://www.uqp.uq.edu.au/

For more than 60 years, the University of Queensland Press has been at the forefront of innovative Australian publishing. It has launched the careers of many great Australian novelists, published contemporary Australian poets, been a pioneering force in children's and young adult publishing and has set the benchmark for award-winning scholarly and Black Australian writing.

UQP is a dynamic university press known for its risk-taking philosophy and commitment to publishing works of high quality and cultural significance.

UQP is a very respected medium sized publisher in Australia – who have launched some of the most famous Australian Authors including Peter Carey (sadly not with them anymore!) and David Malouf.

Their work covers fiction, politics, Australiana, biography, history, art, poetry, and a strong children’s section as well.

They are also regular award winners - http://www.uqp.uq.edu.au/awards.php

We are still in discussion over the best books to launch this with, but they are keen to get all of their books up onto our system quite quickly.
