Begun informally in 1983 by a small group of Quaker publishers and booksellers, Quakers Uniting in Publications is now an international network of over fifty Friends organizations and individuals concerned with the ministry of the written word. Members work together to achieve common goals:

• Accessible centers for the distribution of Quaker publications
• A computerized on-line database of all Quaker publications currently available
• Cooperative publishing to provide needed, good publications at lower prices. QUIP has published two books, George Fox's Book of Miracles (2000), and Whispers of Faith (2005), an anthology of writing by teenage and young adult Friends.  
• Forum for the exchange of editorial concerns
• Education of members in the conduct of sound and ethical business
• The Tacey Sowle Fund to assist in the production and distribution of Quaker publications, especially in the third world
• Increased awareness of Quaker publications in the broader religious book market
• Annual meetings for education, business and encouragement of faith in worship
