Join our community and receive exceptional international books all year long—plus plenty of good karma!

Become a sustaining member and help Archipelago Books publish beautiful translations of world literature that dissolve stereotypes and reveal our common humanity.

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit publisher, we’re grateful for the generosity of our community. As a thank you, sustaining members receive copies of every book we publish (about 14 each year) before they hit the bookstores.

We invite you to become a member at just $15 a month or $150 a year and start supporting our mission today. You can also now take a friend on a global literary tour by purchasing a gift membership! 

All members receive:

• Copies of each new title (roughly 1 book a month) before they hit bookstores
• 25% discount at the Archipelago bookstore
• Members-only content access to conversations with our authors, translators, and editors
• Invitations to private events

Please email us for details about international or institutional memberships.

A note about the summer months: Our production slows down significantly between May and September. If you feel like you’re waiting longer for books during those months, please bear with us! Things speed up again in the fall, through the spring season. You’ll receive an average of 14 books per year!

Membership fees renew annually. If you’d prefer to make a one-time payment and subscribe for a single year, you can do that by purchasing our gift membership … for yourself!

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Increase your donation to get even more benefits!

For an extra $10 a month or $100 a year, Constellation members will receive additional books from our acclaimed backlist of 200 titles (curated by our staff, or by you).
