Scala House Press is a literary imprint of Scala House Publishers, LLC. Our mission is to publish the best of new and under-recognized writers from around the world. We are currently focusing our publishing efforts on translated works from the Balkans.

At this time we are considering only manuscript queries related to translations of fiction from Central and Eastern Europe.

The Scala Publishing Group (TSPG), a Washington-based non-profit corporation, was established in March 2006 to oversee Scala House Press and several publishing-related, community and educational programs. In September 2006 all Scala House Press publishing efforts and business will be merged into the non-profit publishing group. In January 2007, The Scala Publishing Group will be officially launched at the States of Memoir event in Seattle. Scala House Press, under the auspices of The Scala Publishing Group, will release new titles in Spring 2007.
