Join us at the South London Gallery for the London celebration of fifteen years of innovative writing from around the world, with readings and discussion with And Other Stories authors Ibtisam Azem, Juan Pablo Villalobos and Mona Arshi and translator Daniel Hahn. 

A celebratory night of readings and discussion with authors Daniel Hahn, Ibtisam Azem, Juan Pablo Villalobos and Mona Arshi and translator Daniel Hahn to celebrate 15 years of And Other Stories publishing.
It’s been an incredible fifteenth year of publishing at And Other Stories. They became the first-ever publisher to have two books consecutively awarded the International Booker Prize (Heart Lamp by Banu Mushtaq, translated by Deepa Bhasthi, in 2025, and Taiwan Travelogue by Yáng Shuāng-zǐ, translated by Lin King, in 2026) and as a publisher they were awarded Small Press of the Year at this year’s British Book Awards. Through all of it they’ve consistently brought the best writing from around the world to their readers and worked with brilliant authors and translators – all from their offices in Sheffield.

The London celebration of fifteen years of innovative writing from around the world is hosted at the South London Gallery, with the South London Gallery Bookshop.
