Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Swan Isle Press is an independent, not-for-profit, 501 (c)(3) literary publisher dedicated to publishing works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry in translation that inspire and educate while advancing the knowledge and appreciation of literature, art, and culture. Swan Isle Press’s single-language English translations as well as our bilingual editions make contemporary and classic texts more accessible to a variety of readers. Our bilingual editions recognize the still largely unmet publication needs of the important and growing Spanish-speaking population within the United States. Swan Isle Press’s current list of titles includes works translated from the original Spanish, Catalan, French, and Italian, with authors from Argentina, Catalonia, Chile, Cuba, Equatorial Guinea, France, Italy, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, and the United States of America. Swan Isle Press books are marketed and distributed by The University of Chicago Press, nationally and internationally.
