Iska Press
Editorial Programs
Three editorial lines run through the Iska Press list. Each has its own purpose and identity; all are edited and produced to the same standard, and every title also lives in the main catalogue.
A program within Iska Press
Iska Press publishes African writing carried into English by translators who work as closely with the text as the authors who wrote it. Translation here is not a side category — it is how some of our strongest titles reach readers at all.

One list, three lines
