Our tiny press is really grateful for all the orders that have been made over the last few weeks!
This wave of orders has come when we just finished moving distribution warehouses in the UK, and our small team is at full capacity at the moment.
We are thrilled to announce that On A Woman's Madness has been long-listed for the International Booker Prize 2025.
Strikingly translated by Lucy Scott, Astrid Roemer’s classic queer novel is a tentpole of European and post-colonial literature.
This is the first title by a Surinamese author to be long-listed for the prize.
Thank you @internationalbooker for recognising the importance of this book & to the judges for the time and effort put into judging, Max Porter, @CalebFemi, @antonhur, @SansyG, Beth Horton!

It's often small publishers like UK-based @TiltedAxisPress that take the chance on translations—and the rewards far outweigh the supposed risks.
This profile uncovers the trials, travails and triumphs of advocating for a truly global world literature: nytimes.com/2025/02/15/books…
“Tilted Axis has carved out a unique literary niche, and has caught the attention of critics and prize juries, landing major awards and winning acclaim for writers who were unknown in the Anglophone world.”
Thank you Alexandra Alter & @nytimes!

We are outraged by the detention of booksellers Mahmoud Muna and Ahmad Muna by the Israeli authorities and demand their immediate release. We are in solidarity with our colleagues and condemn this ongoing repression.
#OPT: We condemn the arrest of Palestinian author Mahmoud Muna and his nephew Ahmad Muna, owners of Jerusalem’s Educational Bookshop. We call for their immediate release amid the ongoing crackdown on Palestinian voices. @Pen_mena
