As well as a detailed chronology and numerous illustrations, UQP - The Writer's Press includes a complete list of all titles published between 1948 and 1998.

In the half century since 1948, UQP has published two thousand books - from cutting-edge scholarship to acclaimed literary fiction, poetry, popular memoir, history and biography, children's books and Indigenous writing.

A unique feature of the list has been the high proportion of original titles and new writers. UQP published first books by Peter Carey, David Malouf, Kate Grenville, Rodney Hall, Olga Masters, Roger McDonald, Murray Bail and Marion Halligan, among others - writers whose work is now read around the globe.

A blend of memoir, essay and interview, this commemorative publishing history tells the inside story of the Press that launched the brilliant careers of so many renowned writers. Contributors include David Malouf, Michael Wilding, Roger McDonald, Frank Thompson, Barbara Ker Wilson, D'Arcy Randall and Martin Duwell.

For UQP 1998 marks fifty years of independent Australian publishing. In that time UQP authors have won every major Australian literary award along with coveted international awards including the Booker and Commonwealth prizes.
