The University of Notre Dame Press is the largest Catholic university press in the world. We publish academic and general interest books that engage the most enduring questions of our time. But don’t just take our word for it! Our press partners, authors, and friends share what makes Notre Dame Press special.
We hope you’ll consider supporting our work during Notre Dame Day. All donations go to the First-Time Author Fund.
“I have worked with many publishing houses and many, many editors. No experience has been more gratifying than my dealings with UNDPress. There I found scrupulous editors, wonderfully imaginative designers, and the highest intellectual standards.”
—David Bentley Hart, author of You Are Gods
“The team at UNDPress is fabulous. They make the process of publishing a book an experience other presses can learn from. That’s why I am telling my friends to send their manuscripts to UNDPress.”
—Norman Wirzba, author of Agrarian Spirit
“I published the most recent of 15 books with the University of Notre Press, and now I wish I had done all of them with UNDP. From first editorial review through production, the staff was a dream to work with—highly skilled and endlessly supportive. They even made the painful process of marketing seem fun. It was wonderful to work with professionals who care about the quality of their books and know how to be kind to authors.”
—Robert Jensen, co-author of An Inconvenient Apocalypse
