KHAYAT is an independent publishing house working with original and translated works in literature, thought, and contemporary culture.
Our catalog is developed deliberately. Each title is selected for its capacity to sustain meaning over time, and for the seriousness of its engagement with language and form.
Publishing begins with reading. Manuscripts are approached individually, without preset frameworks or production pressure. Editorial work is carried out with precision, allowing each book to take the shape it requires.
Language remains central to our practice. Original works and translations are treated with equal care, with close attention to voice, structure, and cultural register.
Khayat Publishing works in close dialogue with authors and translators. Our list is conceived as a coherent body of work rather than a sequence of releases.
