ncyra Press was officially established in 2021 although we have been in one way or another in the publishing industry for more than a decade. We publish scholarly and literary works for a general audience.
Our non-fiction program covers scholarly works on culture, literature, philosophy, psychology, society, history and politics; that is, fields that are often categorized as humanities and social sciences. On the fiction end, we publish novels, short stories and poetry. We publish only what triggers our senses, minds and hearts.
We are an independent press; that is, neither ideologically and nor institutionally do we belong to any school of thought or organization. That does not mean that we are directionless, though. Here is what guides our work at Ancyra:
We publish works of international relevance beyond political, cultural, and linguistic boundaries. We make room for intellectual speculation. Works that ask, answer or underline the question "what if?" are invaluable sources of intellectual stimulation. We enjoy keeping ourselves busy with new ideas that have cultural potential and with older ideas, the potential of which have not been duly and truly considered. We aim to provide cognitive incitement to open minds for an open society and broaden our readers' intellectual horizons to that end.
Above all, Ancyra is a venue for books with an Aha! moment: we publish books that help us understand how the world actually works. Books that both smooth ways and disturb cognitively are welcome. Life is complex, and we publish beautiful books that reflect the complexity of life in form and content.
We would like to be known as an innovative publisher not only with the narratives and knowledge we publish but also with the way we present them. The digital transformation of the publishing industry deeply shapes our daily work at Ancyra. We work meticulously to produce long-lasting books of high-quality content and material.
We’re looking for both new and established authors whose work we help refine, publish and promote. You can submit your manuscript via info@ancyrapress.com. All submissions will be carefully considered and reviewed. Please include a biographical note and list your previous publications.
Keep in mind that we do not publish comics, fantasy books, erotica or manga. We do not accept print submissions at this time.
