The generosity of our community and friends has helped make WSU Press what it is today. Join our partnership by making a contribution to this project or another area that directly impacts our efforts. Today only, the WSU Press Board of Visitors will provide a dollar-for-dollar match for all contributions in support of the Director's Discretionary Fund up to $1,500!

Completing a book and having it published is an important milestone in a humanities and social science scholar’s career. As our student scholars work under the special pressures wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic, all gifts, large and small, give them the time and the opportunity to focus on this impactful undertaking.

Giving Day 2021 donations to the Director’s Discretionary Fund will support early-career and BIPOC scholars and writers to complete book proposals, or to complete revisions to a manuscript for submission for publication. Authors who are Wayne State University alumni and those with a connection to Detroit will be prioritized for this support. 

We hope you’ll join Wayne State University Press in supporting scholars whose work will build on the current body of knowledge, bring new and important information to life, and shape research and discussion for years to come.

 

 

Wayne State faculty and staff can give via payroll deduction here. Consider a WSU legacy gift in your estate plan.
