Coming Soon

Albanika Press publishes through dedicated imprints to clarify the nature and purpose of its books:

• Mesagjeritë Shqiptare — Literary translation titles are published under the Mesagjeritë Shqiptare imprint and focus on works whose voices and contexts merit careful preservation and renewed accessibility. These books are developed with attention to historical framing, linguistic integrity, and editorial accuracy. Translation is approached as a collaborative and responsible practice, intended to bring important works into conversation with new readers.

• Slim Shady — Original illustrated titles for children are published under the Slim Shady imprint. These books emphasize storytelling that respects young readers’ emotional intelligence, using illustration as an integral narrative element rather than decoration. Visual pacing, tone, and restraint are central considerations, ensuring that the books invite reflection and connection rather than spectacle.

All titles share a common editorial philosophy, production standard, and commitment to long-term stewardship.

About Our Imprints

Current Titles

As the catalog grows, all titles will continue to be presented with consistency and clarity. Each book page provides detailed information about its content, editorial context, and intended readership, supporting educators, librarians, and general readers in their evaluation and selection.

This page presents the current catalog of books published by Albanika Press. Each title is developed through a focused editorial process and selected for its literary, artistic, or cultural significance. Albanika Press publishes selectively, releasing only a small number of books in order to ensure that each project receives sustained attention and care.

The catalog includes works of literary translation, original illustrated books for children and young readers, and projects rooted in historical and cultural narratives. While these books may differ in form and audience, they share a commitment to clarity, restraint, and long-term relevance. Albanika Press does not publish according to seasonal trends or volume-driven models; instead, each book is introduced when it is ready to be read on its own terms.
