As 2019 draws to a close, we at World Editions are reflecting on the support we have received from so many of you this year. While compiling our Thank You note list, we realized that there are hundreds of people who have helped us spread the word about our books. From the teams at our fabulous distributors, to the many reviewers who have dedicated their time, to the wonderful Indie bookstores who have taken a chance on our books and hosted our authors. We are a small publishing house, yet there are so many of you who have made space in your busy schedules to offer us support. Please know that your generosity—with your time, attention, consideration—is appreciated as the gift it is.
Team World Editions thanks:
First and foremost, Vera Michalski and Guillaume Dervieux of Libella group for their confidence and support
- Our many talented authors for placing their trust in us
- Our translators who make the work of our authors accessible to the Anglophone world
- The cultural institutions whose financial support has made all the difference
