As we look ahead into our second decade, we're passionately intent on growing and expanding what we can offer readers.

That means discovering, illuminating, and celebrating vibrant new literary voices alongside accomplished writers whose work deserves the commitment of a dynamic publisher like Atelier26.

It means dusting off and reanimating little-known but indispensable works by great authors through our Regeneration Series.

It means continuing to expand our promotional and distribution capacities.

And it means creating an ever more sustainable financial basis for this worthy work of advancing good literature whether or not it fits the consumerist mold of mainstream publishing.

Every Atelier26 title is a product of our pure and fiery enthusiasm and receives our greatest care. We’re not trying to just sell boatloads of books, we’re focused on providing a fresh and unforgettable reading experience with every title we publish.

Our books have earned great praise and won awards not because we have a massive budget or know the right people, but because we remain dedicated to this vision.

Your support means everything to us. Thank you for considering Atelier26 in your charitable giving.
