Eastern Washington University Press (EWU Press) was a publishing house formed in the 1970s[1] that was a part of Eastern Washington University. The press specialized in scholarly works about Asia and the environment; it also released works of fiction and translation of literature,[2] including works by poets and writers such as Robert Bly, Carolyn Kizer, Dorianne Laux, and Joseph Millar.[3]

In 2007, Eastern Washington University Press became a member of the Association of American University Presses.[1] On June 30, 2010, the press ceased operation, and the publishing rights to many of its books were transferred to Carnegie Mellon University Press.[3][4]
