Duke University Press

Duke University Press is the publishing arm of Duke University, based in Durham, North Carolina. It was founded in 1921. It publishes about 150 books and more than 65 journals a year, plus several digital collections. Its editors acquire in fields such as anthropology, cultural studies, gender and sexuality studies, American and Atlantic World history, Latin American and Latinx studies, Native American and Indigenous studies, music, film and media studies.

Submissions work through the online Book Proposal Submission Form. You choose one editor whose subject areas match your project, and if another editor fits better, the press passes the proposal on. Projects that fit go to review by two field specialists. After the first review round, the editor may request a contract, and the Editorial Advisory Board gives final approval for every book.
