Sinoist Books

Sinoist Books is a UK-based independent press that publishes only the best in translated Chinese literature and contemporary fiction. Our mission is to act as a bridge between the Chinese and English-speaking worlds, so that the best Sinophone authors and their works can transcend the language barrier. We believe that literature is a summation of the struggles, aspirations and ideals of the authors, and only by appreciating them can we truly achieve a deeper level of understanding.

Sinoist Books was born in 2016 as the Fiction and Literature arm of Alain Charles Asia. At the time we noticed a gap in the market for well translated, well produced and well marketed titles about the Sinophone world. The press rapidly became the most important part of our publishing program.

We partner with award-winning translators and maintain the highest editorial and design standards in order to ensure that these titles are presented in their best possible light. We pair these titles with energetic marketing and events campaigns in order to introduce English readers to these gems of Chinese literature and culture.
