West Side Press

Some of the sharpest thinking about democracy, history, economics, and how the modern world works is being written in and about the subcontinent. It deserves a wider world.

West Side Press exists to find that work and bring it to readers everywhere. We publish original nonfiction. We acquire rights to essential books that have never had a global edition. We commission new work from writers and scholars who have something to say.

Our first list is taking shape. If you'd like to be part of it — as a reader or as a writer — we'd like to hear from you.

For Readers

For Authors & Agents

We welcome proposals for original work, and rights inquiries for nonfiction from the subcontinent.
