MUP is the home of agenda-setting political, history and current affairs titles; landmark illustrated art and lifestyle books and the best in Australian academic research and writing. MUP is dedicated to sharing top Australian non-fiction writing with a worldwide audience publishing books and monographs, ebooks and audiobooks.

We publish the best of Australian academic research and writing through our MUP Academic series. These titles are peer-reviewed and designed for readers and writers of scholarly material and specialist research.
The prestigious and editorially-independent literary journal Meanjin also falls under the MUP umbrella.
As well as new publishing, we are currently digitising our extensive backlist with iconic titles such as Manning Clark's six-volume A History of Australia and Hartung's Astronomical Objects for Southern Telescopes being sold online for the first time. This digitisation is an ongoing project and you can request titles to be brought back into print here.
