University Press Audiobooks

Trade books published from academic institutions are virtually absent from the audiobook format. Why is this?  Is it because these types of books do not go over well on audio? Nonsense. It is due to economics. The costs to produce, duplicate, inventory, and physically distribute audiobooks has simply not justified the risk of the lower sales volumes of academic titles--until now.

With the ever shrinking costs of studio-quality digital audio production tools leveraged with the ultra efficiency of online audio distribution, University Press Audiobooks is in business to redefine the business of academic audiobook publishing.

University Press Audiobooks, LLC is located in the heart of the university community of Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Our production and editorial staff (most are also university students, staff, faculty, and emeriti) are eager to bring you a wide variety of titles from top academic publishers.

Now you have the time for these types of important and intelligent books while commuting, walking, exercising, doing chores, or when resting strained eyes, contributing to your well-read and educated life.

The Caravan Project, funded by the MacArthur Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation of New York, is an innovative partnership of non-profit publishers, booksellers and libraries.
