The Urban Institute Press publishes well-researched, thoughtful books that appeal to readers from diverse academic and professional backgrounds. Many of these books become classics in their field. Some are written by researchers and analysts at the Urban Institute and some by authors from other organizations with an interest in public policy.
The Urban Institute Press invites book proposals on pressing social and economic concerns in a variety of policy areas. If you have an idea for a book, click on our contact form, select Book Proposal, and describe the book, its intended audience, and how it differs from any similar books in print. We will contact you if we wish to pursue the proposal further.
Manuscripts considered for publication will be peer-reviewed. If your manuscript is accepted, you can expect careful editing, individualized marketing, and timely publication.
