The Athenaeum Press is a student-driven publishing lab that focuses on telling regional stories in innovative ways. Rather than accepting completed manuscripts for publishing, the press accepts project proposals that will be intensely developed by an interdisciplinary, collaborative group of students and faculty. The Press seeks these proposals from all corners of the community, including non-profit organizations, community members, faculty, and students at other institutions. Project initiators, or those that submit project proposals, will extensively collaborate with the Press team to design, build and produce professional-quality content using unique and innovative technologies and media formats.

Rather than accept completed manuscripts for publication, The Athenaeum Press takes project proposals, and then we turn those ideas over to an interdisciplinary team of students to develop and produce, in collaboration with the project initiator.
