The University of Guam Press (UOG Press) is issuing a “Call for Talent” and seeks to expand its pool of publishing professionals available to support the publishing house’s books and projects.

UOG Press is the University of Guam’s in-house publisher and has published, distributed, and marketed over 70 academic and literary books and journals with a specific focus on the unique history, environment, peoples, cultures, and languages of Guam and the broader Micronesia.

In anticipation of an exciting lineup of new titles and projects, UOG Press is expanding its creative and professional network to ensure a diverse, dynamic, and highly skilled team of collaborators.

Every six months, UOG Press seeks to refresh its local talent pool to provide opportunities for new and upcoming writers and artists. This ensures that the Press remains adaptable to evolving publishing needs and project demands and provides opportunities for new and emerging creatives to contribute while allowing established professionals to reaffirm their availability.

We highly encourage professionals who have previously published to submit a portfolio.

To successfully and professionally achieve its publication goals, UOG Press is particularly looking for people who are able to meet tight deadlines, receive constructive feedback and produce quality work.

To respond to this call, applicants are asked to submit a digital portfolio featuring a minimum of five relevant work samples and a one-page letter of interest that includes the applicant’s first name; service(s) the applicant is eligible to provide; email address; phone number(s); and relevant experience/background, including professional jobs.

For writing, editing and translating services in languages other than English, the applicant must specify the language these services can be provided in.

Applicants will be added to the Press’s current pool of creatives and will be contacted as projects arise. It is important to note that writers and artists are called based on the needs of the project or publication. Individuals who have respond to previous talent calls are encouraged to respond again.

All submissions must be emailed by no later than March 30, 2025 to  uogpress@triton.uog.edu. For more information, please contact UOG Press at (671) 735-2153.
