The University of North Texas Press was founded in 1987 and published its first book in 1989. Though it is the newest university press in North Texas (following SMU Press and TCU Press), it has quickly become a leading press with the most titles in print (more than 400) and published (18 to 20 each year). The UNT Press is a fully accredited member of the Association of University Presses. Its books are distributed and marketed nationally and internationally through the Texas A&M University Press Consortium.
The UNT Press collection in the UNT Digital Library consists of 447 books and journals including our most recent publications from Fall 2018. Nearly 100 of these titles are available for free worldwide open access. New titles include prize winning poetry, a unique look at the 2016 presidential election, a biography of Texas Ranger Jack Dean, and more.
