University of Calgary Press

Established in 1986, the University of Calgary Press publishes peer-reviewed scholarly works. Our books advance academic research, challenge boundaries, and connect communities of scholarship. Open Access since 2010, we invest in knowledge and reduce barriers to readership by ensuring that our academic publications are available to the widest possible audience at no cost. In our literary series, Brave & Brilliant, we publish works of poetry, fiction, and beyond, with fresh voices and bold approaches to storytelling and verse.
