Throwback to the #ALPSPReduxConference2026 we attended in March — an excellent session on what ECRs want from publishers.

🥳Today we’re celebrating the publication anniversary of Star Carr Volumes 1 & 2 which explores one of Europe’s most important Mesolithic sites. First discovered in the late 1940s by John Moore and excavated by Grahame Clark (1949–1951), the site transformed our understanding of Mesolithic life.

🎉 In collaboration with the @universityofleeds.bsky.social, White Rose University Press is pleased to announce the winners of the 2025 Early Career Publishing Prize (ECPP).

Dr Michallat is also currently working with us on a companion volume:
Living the Phoney War: Madeleine Blaess’s Letters from Paris (November 1939 – June 1940).

We look forward to sharing more about this project soon.

The book has resonated well beyond higher education. It has supported school outreach programmes and engaged wider audiences, benefiting from strong public interest in Second World War history.

In June 1940, the German invasion cut off Madeleine’s escape route to the ports, preventing her return to Britain. Her diary captures the uncertainty and lived experience of Paris at the start of the Second World War.

Dr Michallat is the editor of 320 rue St Jacques: The Diary of Madeleine Blaess. In November 1939, Madeleine Blaess—a French-born, British-raised student—travelled to Paris to begin a doctorate in Medieval French literature at the Sorbonne.

This Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the women who have worked with us to produce outstanding books. Today we’re highlighting Dr Wendy Michallat, Senior Lecturer at the University of Sheffield.

We’re staying ahead of the transition and making sure everything is in place. The new system will continue to report usage stats and monitor repository impact.
