  Lever Press is a university press, based out of Ann Arbor, MI. Unlike most university presses, Lever Press is not affiliated with a single university; instead, the press represents a consortium of universities, each of which helps govern and guide the press. Lever Press was founded in 2016 with the help of Michigan Publishing, Amherst College Press, and the Oberlin Group. All publications are released as open access material, with the cost of production being paid for by the participating universities. The press is a member of the Association of University Presses.
