In 2009, AFSA established a small press—Foreign Service Books. The mission of the publishing division is to raise awareness of diplomacy and the Foreign Service. The first book published under this imprint is Inside a U.S. Embassy: Diplomacy at Work, the third edition of AFSA’s introduction and guide to the Foreign Service.

In May 2024, we published The Voice of the Foreign Service: A History of the American Foreign Service Association at 100. Learn more about our offerings below.
