TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--University of Toronto Press (UTP), Canada’s largest university press and leading academic publisher, is proud to announce a new partnership with Hopkins Press, one of the largest university presses in the United States. This collaboration marks a significant expansion of UTP's campus representation services, offering an expanded catalogue of highly esteemed course materials to North American college and university students and faculty.
UTP has a long history of serving scholarly and professional societies with publishing and sales services, as well as supporting book publishers with distribution services. The new partnership with Hopkins Press marks an expansion to also offer representation for international publishers into North American higher education. As the first publisher to partner with UTP in this area, UTP's sales team will now represent Hopkins Press titles alongside its own when visiting US and Canadian campuses.
“We are thrilled to build on our long-standing relationship with Johns Hopkins University Press, a publisher we have proudly collaborated with for many years,” says Lily Bergh, Director of Business Development at UTP. “This partnership enhances the diversity of course materials available to students and faculty and underscores our commitment to supporting global academic discourse.”
“Expanding our partnership with the University of Toronto Press aligns with our shared values of advancing scholarly works and fostering academic excellence,” says Davida Breier, Co-Director, Marketing and Sales at Hopkins Press. “UTP's strong relationships with US and Canadian universities and colleges make them an ideal partner to help us better reach this critical audience. Together, we are empowering educators and students by providing greater access to our publications.”
This collaboration builds upon the successful partnership established in 2022 between UTP Distribution and Hopkins Fulfillment Services (HFS) for the distribution of Hopkins titles in Canada and distribution of UTP titles in the US, as well as the decades-long representation of UTP content within Project MUSE. The continued support and cooperation between the two publishers provide a strong foundation to continue to disseminate great content across trade, academic and higher education audiences.
