KHAYAT Publishing works with original and translated manuscripts in literature, thought, and contemporary culture. Our publishing program is shaped by careful editorial selection and by the intention to build a coherent body of work that develops over time.
Manuscripts are considered as independent literary and intellectual projects. Each work is evaluated within its linguistic and cultural context, and in relation to the broader editorial direction of the publishing house.
KHAYAT Publishing is interested in works that demonstrate clarity of vision, seriousness in their engagement with language and form, and the ability to sustain meaning beyond the immediate moment.
Our areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Literary fiction and narrative writing
• Essays and works of thought
• Critical and cultural writing
• Literary works for children and young readers
• Carefully selected literary translations
Our publishing program is not driven by market categories or production volume, but by editorial coherence and long-term value.
Translation
Translation is a central part of Khayat Publishing’s practice. We approach it as an independent literary act, requiring close attention to voice, style, and cultural register.
Translation projects are considered as integrated editorial endeavors, where the original text, the translator’s work, and the editorial process together form a coherent whole.
Editorial Framework
KHAYAT Publishing follows an editorial approach based on deliberate work and professional dialogue with authors and translators. The nature and pace of the editorial process vary according to the requirements of each project.
Publishing decisions are guided by editorial judgment and by the long-term coherence of the catalog.
Submissions and Collaboration
KHAYAT Publishing reviews manuscripts selectively. Submission procedures are defined periodically and communicated through the publisher’s official channels.
The submission or receipt of a manuscript does not constitute an obligation to publish. Khayat Publishing reserves the right to accept or decline projects at its professional discretion.
