Support

Archipelago is committed to bringing extraordinary works of prose, poetry, and children’s books to English-language readers in outstanding translations. Our books span languages, literary traditions and peoples. You can be a part of ensuring that these books are read and enjoyed for years to come while we continue to add imaginative literary gems to our list—we couldn’t do it without your support, encouragement, and readership.

Since 2003, Archipelago has published more than 240 titles translated from about 45 languages. In the coming months, we look forward to introducing courageous works from the Faroe Islands, Quebec, Turkey,  Argentina, Poland, and Italy. We publish 15 books each year, with a full-time staff of four.

Ways to Give

Make a Donation

No contribution is too small to be instrumental to our titles. A tax-deductible gift of any size allows us to produce elegant books, pay our authors and translators fairly for their remarkable work, print children’s books that will inspire kids (and adults!) to create and dream, hold book events around the country,  fund necessary reprints to keep all of our titles in print, and ensure that we acquire literary works from all corners of the earth, including regions where there is little or no government funding to subsidize literary translations.

Become a Member

Join our community of dedicated readers as a member—you’ll receive every Archipelago book published in the calendar year (often before they hit bookstore shelves), as well as 25 percent off at our online store. With the Constellation membership, you’ll also receive a book from our rich backlist.

Sponsorships

Sponsor a Title

Directly impact the production of one of our titles by directly supporting one of our books—either a forthcoming book or a backlist book we need to reprint. We believe each of our books deserves to be kept in print, available for readers to discover and enjoy. We will acknowledge you, or your chosen dedicatee, in the book itself.

Contribute to the Terra Firma Fund

In 2024—our publishing program’s 20th year—we are establishing a cash reserve, the Terra Firma Fund. Contributions to this fund help to ensure the lasting success and financial security of the press.

Every year, we hold a number of fundraising events to support our work. And from wherever you hail, you can participate in our online annual art auction to raise money for our luminous children’s imprint, Elsewhere Editions.

Spread the Word

Word of mouth helps more than you know. Whenever you have an opportunity, please speak with a local bookseller, a librarian, teacher, reading group coordinator, book critic, or a book-loving friend about one of your favorite Archipelago books.
