We love books. So we publish them.

Mirari Press was founded out of a desire to read more. More diverse voices. More diverse genres. More diverse points of view. We publish the books they ban in libraries, the books that are labelled as too-risky, the books that shake the foundations of the earth.

What we value

Every decision we make, every book we publish, is guided by our Triple Valours*: the founding principles of Mirari Press.

​

*That sounds like something from a fantasy novel, because, well, we love fantasy novels.
