BOOKFRIENDS of the University Press of Mississippi supports the activities of the Press by sponsoring a variety of programs for its members and the public. BOOKFRIENDS includes a diverse group of readers, authors, bibliophiles, and friends—all of whom believe in books and who wish to foster Mississippi’s strong literary history. BOOKFRIENDS donates a portion of its annual membership dues to the Press’s New Horizons fund, which helps the Press underwrite its publishing costs. BOOKFRIENDS also established the UPM Director’s Fund through a generous donation.
By becoming a BOOKFRIEND, you help University Press of Mississippi meet the costs of publishing both specialized scholarship and attractive regional books.
