Greetings from Zagreb. We’re on the way to @buchmesse.de but before days of back-to-back meetings, still time to bask in the afterglow of the Lit Link Festival, where we saw old friends and met new ones. And put our new tote bags to good use on the beach!

For us, every month is about translation but September is National Translation Month, so here’s a peek at Fall 2027. We’ll have ARCs early next year, but if you want to read Lejla before then, grab Call Me Esteban, one of the first books we published. sandorfpassage.org/product/call... #booksky

Two of my favorite publishers! Support small presses!
This👇👇! Some super-hyped books are great. But the machinations of corporate publishing have more or less guaranteed their success. So why not support the visions of indie publishers who unabashedly prioritize their individual tastes and the hunt for truly singular books? #booksky
Friends, book reviews are drying up. We all know this. But it's worth repeating. Advance reviews we used to (gratefully!) count on are no longer a given; we're not getting them. Newspapers where intrepid reviewers used to talk about our books . . . well, you know. PLEASE, if you read our books . . .

Want to read two of today’s most exciting Croatian authors? Then don’t sleep on Maša Kolanović and Martina Vidaić. They’ve both won the EU Prize for Literature and the English-language translations of these novels by Ena Selimović and Ellen Elias-Bursać are critically acclaimed. #witmonth #booksky

Looking to surrender yourself to a long novel for Women in Translation Month? We suggest The Case of Cem by Vera Mutafchieva (tr. Angela Rodel) and Water, Spiderweb by Nada Gasić (tr. Ellen Elias-Bursać). Both are slightly mysterious, epic in scope, and utterly unforgettable. #witmonth #booksky
