EUP shortlisted for the 2026 IPG Publishing Awards

We are thrilled to have been shortlisted for the 2026 Independent Publishers Guild Publishing Awards for Clarivate Academic, Educational and Professional Publisher of the Year!

We've also been nominated for The London Book Fair International Award and our Senior Desk Editor, Grace Balfour-Harle, is up for The Ola Gotkowska Young Independent Publisher Award.

IPG judges said, 'Edinburgh University Press overcame tough trading conditions in the UK and US academic markets to post best-ever results. It reworked the ways it engages customers and excelled in marketing and innovation, while also stepping up its work on values, DEI and staff support. The way EUP has responded to budget challenges and pivoted to a customer-centric model is impressive. It deserves the great results it achieved.'

The award ceremony is in London on 29 April 2026.
