Mesotype Publishing
We are an independent literary press based in Barcelona and Istanbul.
Our products are available both as physical copies in limited editions and as e-books.
From Norway to El Salvador, we collaborate with emerging poets from around the world, publishing works that push the boundaries of poetic expression. Beyond publishing, we foster a thriving literary community by hosting speakeasy gatherings, poetry workshops, and networking events in Barcelona and Istanbul. Through these events, we create spaces for poets and literary enthusiasts to connect, experiment, and grow together.
