Some publishers specialise in a particular corner of the world. We prefer the whole map.

Open Borders Press publishes the best literary fiction and non-fiction, much of it in translation, as well as crime fiction (exclusively in translation) written by outstanding storytellers.

Founded by Christopher MacLehose, a publisher whose decades-long career has championed literature in translation, Open Borders Press continues a legacy of discovering and nurturing voices from every corner of the globe.

See our Autumn 2025 catalogue and our book pages for more information on what we publish.
