Southern Methodist University Press (or SMU Press) was a university press that is part of Southern Methodist University. It was established in 1937 and released eight to ten titles each year and was known for its literary fiction. It was scheduled to suspend operations on June 1, 2010.[1] The provost of SMU announced in 2011 plans to reorganize the press with a smaller budget and different goals.[2] It closed again in 2015.
