Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
veliz: a term for suitcase, sometimes used in México
veliz: what we carry, what we need, what is dear
veliz: crosses borders, migrates, translates, expands canons
Taking inspiration from the idea of the veliz, in 2015 Veliz Books began crossing literary borders and championing work that transcends time and trends. Veliz Books is an independent literary press dedicated to discovering, publishing, and promoting work from emerging and established authors writing poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction, as well as books in translation. Veliz Books helps literature travel and fosters a community of readers and writers passionate about words and language, regardless of where they may live.
