Welcome to
Foundry Editions was set up in 2023 out of a love of three things - a love for discovering and sharing new voices, a love for the Mediterranean and the people and lands that surround it, and a love of internationalism and reading across borders.
We are on a mission to uncover authors who are new to English speakers, and to share the joy of reading their stories, which come from a part of the world that has always been a source of cultural and emotional inspiration for English language readers.
If you are looking for enriching story-telling and intelligent, thought-provoking, beautiful writing, that captures something of the lives, imaginations, culture and preoccupations of people who live around the middle sea, then you will find something to love in the books we publish.
