Over the past four decades, Seagull Books has been dedicated to publishing literature in translation with the conviction that translations build bridges across cultures. While we continue to publish in English, one of our aims has always been to encourage other publishers to translate our books into different languages. Through our rights catalogue, we are proud to represent several important authors whose voices deserve to be heard in many languages.
