Need a good traveling companion? Good stories reveal as much, or more, about a locale as any map or guidebook. Whereabouts Press is dedicated to publishing books that will enlighten a traveler to the soul of a place.

Our readers — as well as reviewers, academics, booksellers, and librarians — have told us that they like the concept of our traveler’s literary series and its affordable and attractive package. We take great care to choose editors who are expert guides to the literary landscape of a country or region so readers of Whereabouts books can travel to their destination in the company of the finest local writers who know it best.

Our contributors include celebrated luminaries and Nobel Prize winners. Many of the stories in our books appear in English for the first time, gaining exposure for some of the world’s best writers.
