Michigan State University Press (MSUP) has selected Liverpool Distribution Services (LDS) as its exclusive distribution partner for the UK and Europe, and non-exclusive partner for the rest of the world outside of the Americas. MSUP joins University of Michigan Press and University of Georgia Press in benefitting from a genuine sense of transatlantic university press partnership through the boutique sales, marketing and distribution service that LDS offers.
Liverpool Distribution Services sits alongside the well-established Liverpool Subscription Services, which provides journals subscriptions management for a range of university presses and mission-based publishers.
MSUP Director, Elizabeth Demers, said: “We are absolutely delighted to partner with Liverpool University Press for distribution in the UK and Europe. Not only are Anthony Cond and his team doing some of the most exciting work we’ve seen in university press publishing, their commitment to scholarly excellence, open access publishing, and creativity complement our values and vision for the future.”
LUP Chief Executive Anthony Cond added: “Building upon decades of outstanding publishing, MSUP has begun a new ambitious chapter under the energetic leadership of Elizabeth Demers. We look forward to amplifying the Press’s books internationally and to working closely with our MSUP colleagues to foster a true sense of partnership.”
The new agreement commences Monday, April 14, and orders will be supplied by LUP’s fulfillment partner, Wiley Distribution.
