Tilted Axis Press publishes mainly work by Asian and African writers, translated into a variety of Englishes.

Founded in 2015, our practice is an ongoing exploration into alternatives – to the hierarchisation of certain languages and forms, including forms of translation; to the monoculture of globalisation; to cultural, narrative, and visual stereotypes; to the commercialisation and celebrification of literature and literary translation.

We value the work of translation and translators through fair, transparent pay, public acknowledgement, and respectful communication. We are dedicated to improving access to the industry, through translator mentorships, paid publishing internships, open calls and guest curation.

Our publishing is a work in progress – we are always open to feedback, including constructive criticism, and suggestions for collaborations. We are particularly keen to connect with Black and indigenous translators of Asian languages.

Tilted Axis Press publishes, among other authors and translators, the 2022 International Booker Prize winners, Geetanjali Shree and Daisy Rockwell.
