NEW YORK — Effective January 1, 2011, Fordham University Press
print and electronic titles will be distributed and sold in the United
States and Canada by Oxford University Press, Inc. (OUP USA). Fordham
University Press books are currently distributed by New York University
Press.
“We’re very excited by this new partnership,” noted Fredric W. Nachbaur,
the Director of Fordham University Press. “Oxford’s reputation, market
reach, and demonstrated ability to sell into all channels will allow
Fordham to increase its sales and market share of our outstanding
scholarship. I see this as an incredible opportunity for enhanced
recognition and visibility, both for FUP and our authors.”
Fordham University Press, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2007,
publishes primarily in the humanities and social sciences with an emphasis
on the fields of anthropology, classics, communications, history, law,
philosophy, political science, religion, and sociology, , as well as
literature and the fine arts. Additionally, the Press publishes books of
interest to the general public and books focusing on the metropolitan New
York region. FUP recently announced a new imprint — Empire State Editions
— in an effort to expand and better brand the program..
“We are thrilled to have a university press of Fordham’s caliber become a
part of our family of distributed presses,” says Colleen Scollans, VP of
Global Marketing at Oxford University Press. “Fordham’s commitment to the
dissemination of scholarship is a perfect fit with Oxford’s own mission,
and the synergies between our editorial programs are obvious. We’re also
pleased to represent a press with such a strong regional publishing
program. Fordham’s new Empire State Editions imprint complements our own
list in this area very well.”
Books released prior to January 1, 2011, will ship from New York University
Press, Fordham University Press’s current distributor. Backlist sales and
returns will continue through New York University Press until December 31,
2010. All Spring 2011 titles will ship from Oxford University Press’s
