University of Montana Press
Welcome to the University of Montana Press! We are excited to announce our newest publication from Fall 2024, The Bitter Roots by Norman Macleod, produced in collaboration with Boiler House Press. First published in 1941 and never before reissued, The Bitter Roots is a largely autobiographical novel full of evocative details of Missoula and Butte during WWI, the work of a writer coming to terms with his past. Learn more about this book, as well as our other recent releases, below.
Who We Are & What We Do
We hope to inspire readers to engage with the intellectual and creative material we produce. The Latin etymological roots of the word publishing itself are publicare, to make public, and publicus, pertaining to the people. We bring new texts to readers to help expand knowledge, perspective, and thought. Publishing is never an act of solitude, but of connection, bringing people together to share stories and ideas.
If you would like to contribute to our mission, please reach out to Robert Stubblefield, our Publishing Director, at UMPress@umontana.edu to discuss donations.
Keep an eye out for our upcoming projects, including the nascent Book Arts Program here at UM. Check out the UM Book Arts Program tab for more information on the recent developments with the printing press's arrival.
Happy reading!
