Tikhanov Library is an independent publishing house based out of Mexico City. We’re named after the Russian artist Mikhail Tikhanov, and have pretensions of being a “serious” literary publishing house, which is to say that we publish books because they’re good not because they’re profitable. Until now we’ve mostly focused on translation projects, but are looking to branch out with more original content.

If we like your book we’ll offer free promotion, editing, formatting help, cover design, etc. as well as feature it on our website and promotional catalogues. We have thousands of fans on social media and are growing by the day. In return, all we ask is a cut of gross sales profits, which will help for purchasing adds, covering webhosting expenses, etc. Of course you are not legally bound to anything, and are free to cut ties the moment a better offer comes along.

Something long enough to fit in a published paperback book, or short-form poetry to be included in an upcoming anthology. We have an in-house style but are open to books experimenting with form. As a rule of thumb, I figure if I like it and want to read it, then other people will as well. This isn’t to denigrate books which aren’t accepted, it’s just that I think a publishing house should appeal to a certain sensibility in order to nurture a core readership.

Send us an email at TikhanovLibrary@protonmail.ch! Include a short pitch about your book and a pdf sample of your writing and we will get back to you within five or so business days.
