Our 2025 book is printed and ready to pre-order! It's an intense reflection on violence from systemic to domestic, written in chapter-long sentences, by the Dublin Literary Award-shortlisted pairing of Ivana Sajko and Mima Simić.

Ivana Sajko's next novel in English, EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE, tr. Mima Simić. The book cover features a modern-day shipwreck rotated 90 degrees, and it's held up against a poster of a sea and a lifeboat. The captions say: "Our 2025 title comes out 10 October" and "More Sajko and Simić".

We're really pleased to have another guest post on our blog, this time Sophie Lau on bringing German poetry to UK schools.

A picture of our blog headline: "One Day" in a Week: Bringing German Books into UK Schools. There's also a photo of Sophie Lau talking to students.

We'd like you to buy our books for your loved ones this season. So we took some photos of them against a Christmassy backdrop in an effort to persuade you, and some more photos of Christmassy things to go with them.
Here's the Dublin Prize-shortlisted LOVE NOVEL.

Our golden book LOVE NOVEL with golden high heels on the cover, bedded on pine branches and nestled with golden baubles and a red plastic apple (with a golden leaf), against a curly white background used in an attempt to simulate snow. Teeny tiny featureless white figurines and teeny tiny fir trees splatted with possibly Tippex to simulate snow. One of the figurines is balancing a golden hoop earring over its outstretched, which is about the same height as the figurine itself.
