About the Press

The University of North Georgia Press is a department under the Office of the Vice President of Leadership & Global Engagement at the University of North Georgia. Our offices are located on the third floor of the Downtown Office Building, Rooms 337, 338, and 339, across from the Holly Theatre, right off of Dahlonega’s Historic Square.

Mission Statement:

The University of North Georgia Press, a scholarly, peer-reviewed press, is an extension of our sponsoring university, University of North Georgia. Our primary function is to promote education and research, with a special emphasis on innovative scholarship and pedagogy. 

Through our partnership with the University System of Georgia (USG), Affordable Learning Georgia (ALG), and eCore, UNG Press is the leading university press in the state for Open Educational Resources (OERs) and Open Textbooks.

Our partnership with UNG provides a service-learning environment for students to gain real life experiences in publishing and marketing. These learning opportunities comprise (1) course work tied to UNG Press projects, and (2) internships. Course work immerse students in actual book production, from acquisitions to editing to editing to layout and design to marketing. Internships focus on editing and marketing; however, interns participate in all aspects of the press.
