Say hello

We haven't put out a formal call for submissions yet. Write anyway — a small press is mostly built out of people who got in touch early.

arigataibooks@gmail.com

Tell us what you'd like to work on, and point us at something you've made. Japanese or English, either is fine.

What we're looking for

  • Translators working from Japanese into English, on classic or modern work.
  • Editors who can take a translated manuscript the last twenty percent of the way.
  • Cover designers with a feel for Japanese type and period design.
  • Layout and typesetting for bilingual pages, which are harder than they look.
  • Writers whose own work is shaped by Japanese culture.
  • Suggestions a Japanese author or story that ought to exist in English, and doesn't yet.
