Welcome to our virtual booth! We invite you to peruse materials on our website and make use of the OAH conference discount for 30% off all history books valid through October 1, 2020.
We at SIU Press would love to explore whether your manuscript would be a good fit for our list. We are interested in historical studies of inequalities, disabilities, labor, crime, prisons, and marginalized groups, particularly those set in the Midwest, as well as studies of American military culture and Civil War history and memory. We publish first-time and established authors both inside and outside the academy.
