Archipelago Books is a not-for-profit literary press based in Brooklyn, New York, focused on promoting cross-cultural exchange through international literature in translation. Its work centers on publishing translated works that make global voices accessible to readers, with a particular emphasis on bringing diverse literary perspectives to the English-speaking market. The organization serves readers and scholars who seek quality translated literature and supports authors and translators by providing a platform for cross-cultural literary exchange. In addition to its publishing program, Archipelago Books has broadened access to its catalog by offering free ebooks, expanding the availability of its titles to a wider audience. A notable recent development is recognition for translation work, such as Geoffrey Brock’s 2021 National Translation Award in Poetry for his translation of Giuseppe Ungaretti’s Allegria, highlighting the press’s role in producing acclaimed translated literature. While small in size, the press operates within the book and periodical publishing industry as a humanities-focused, nonprofit publisher dedicated to expanding literary access beyond a single language or culture.
