Independent publishing house · Gdańsk
Books for the long way round.
Pine & Quill publishes essays, nature writing, poetry and translated fiction — books that take their time.
Featured titles
Three books to begin with.
The press
A small press, on purpose.
We are an independent publishing house in Gdańsk. We print in small runs, design every book as an object, and work with authors and translators across Europe.
We take on a handful of titles each year. That lets us read closely, edit honestly and keep the list short enough to care about every book on it.
