History[]

Origins[]

New Vessel Press was co-founded by writer/translator Ross Ufberg and author/journalist Michael Z. Wise[4] in 2012,[5] with the intention of bringing foreign literature to English-speaking audiences.

New Vessel Press print books are distributed to bookstores and online vendors throughout the United States by Consortium Book Sales & Distribution; they are distributed in Canada by Publishers Group Canada and in the United Kingdom and Ireland by Turnaround Publisher Services. All NVP titles are also available as ebooks and many as audiobooks.[6]

"Ross and Michael have really spun gold out of nothing; they've really made an instant classic out of New Vessel," John Oakes, director of the New School Publishing Institute and co-founder of OR Books, told Crain's New York Business in May 2017.[7]

Artwork[]

Book covers for New Vessel Press translations have been created by graphic artist Liana Finck[8] and Beth Steidle.[9]
