2015 Blog Tour
Each year, a tour is conducted throughout University Press Week to introduce readers to some of the most interesting publishers' blogs out there.
Here's how it works: A theme is selected for each weekday; presses sign up to post on the theme of their choice; each day, blog posts on the chosen theme go up in the morning; and each blog points readers on to the other posts on that topic. Follow a topic of interest, and you may find more than a day's worth of good reading as you see what the blogs have to offer!
