Wesleyan University Press is a university press that is part of Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. The press is currently directed by Suzanna Tamminen, a published poet and essayist.^[1][2]

Founded (in its present form) in 1957, the press publishes books of poetry and books on music, dance and performance, American Studies, and film.^[2][3][4][5] In 1965, Wesleyan sold its American Education Publications, a division of the press that published My Weekly Reader, but the university retained the scholarly division.^[6] All editing occurs at the editorial office building of the press on the Wesleyan campus. Publishing (printing) now occurs through a consortium of New England college academic presses.
