The following is a letter from Jane Ferreyra, director of the University of Nebraska Press.

To our UNP community of authors, readers, and supporters,

As the year draws to a close, we’re looking back with gratitude—and forward with excitement.

Because of your support, the University of Nebraska Press continues to do what few publishers can: bring rigorous scholarship, distinctive voices, and regional stories to readers everywhere.

In the last fiscal year (FY24–25), we:

• Published 118 new books and 20 new paperback editions
• Celebrated 36 award-winning titles
• Reached readers around the world with more than 397,000 books sold and over 1 million uses of our journals content
• Invested over $195,000 in publication subventions, ensuring that works with smaller audiences but significant impact still reach the world

These are more than numbers. They’re new conversations in classrooms, breakthroughs in research, and works that find their way onto nightstands, into libraries, and onto syllabi across the globe. You can explore more of this impact in our Annual Report by the Numbers.

Our editors, designers, and production staff work hard to make every UNP publication a meaningful encounter—thoughtfully edited, beautifully designed, and built to last on the shelf and in the mind.

Join us in what’s next!
As we close out the year, we invite you to support the work ahead in whatever way fits you best:

Make a year-end gift. A tax-deductible donation of any size helps us champion new voices, keep prices accessible for students and libraries, and publish works whose value can’t be measured only in sales. You can make your gift through our giving page.

Shop our holiday sale. Enjoy 50 percent off all purchases on our website during our holiday book sale through December 31!

Thank you
For our authors, thank you for trusting us with your work. For our donors and friends, thank you for investing in these publications and the communities they serve. Every manuscript we publish, every gift we receive, and every publication we sell helps us support teaching, research, and service at the University of Nebraska—and connect with readers far beyond its borders.

With thanks and warmest wishes for a joyful and hopeful new year,

Jane Ferreyra, Director
