Dear authors, editors, contributors, readers, and other friends of the Press:

As some of you have heard “through the grapevine,” so to speak, the University has decided to close the Duquesne University Press later this year. Though we do not have a firm date, given the various commitments that must be honored and arrangements that must be made, we will be operating through at least the end of May.

I realize this raises important questions for most of you. Since this is a new and unplanned development, I may not yet have answers for many of them, but as we work through the various issues that must be considered, I will certainly keep you informed.

I will follow up shortly with more information. In the meantime, please know how grateful we are for your support, your expertise, and all your excellent work over the years.

With all good wishes,

Susan Wadsworth-Booth, Director

Duquesne University Press
