Subscriptions

Every year Peirene publishes at least six books and sends them directly to subscribers. We search high and low for the most exciting voices from around the world, and introduce them to English-language readers. Subscribe now to get our new books ahead of publication and to support independent publishing. We offer four different types of subscription – our six-book subscription, our three-book novella subscription and single year gift subscriptions of both options – perfect for that surprise gift for a loved one.

Get it first
All our books are sent to subscribers 6-8 weeks before publication. You also receive subsidised UK shipping on every subscription book and 15% off all further purchases.

Read more widely
We select the best writers and stories from around the world and publish them in English translation for curious readers.

Proudly Independent
We rely on our subscribers to sustain our work. Their commitment empowers us to make bold editorial choices and plans for the future.
