Black Fountain Press

Black Fountain Press is a Luxembourg-based publishing house founded in 2017, recognised as the country's first publisher specialising in English-language literature. It was established to provide a platform for writers who choose to express themselves in English rather than in Luxembourg's traditional languages, and for authors of all nationalities with a connection to Luxembourg. The press publishes short stories, novels, poetry, and plays, and also translates works by established Luxembourgish authors into English to help them reach a wider international audience. Its catalogue includes titles such as 'Saudade, I Spoke Your Language', 'Into Babel', 'Nightscapes', 'M for Amnesia', 'A Pint of Fish Fingers – Tales of a Wonderer', 'Medea // Ajax & Tecmessa', 'Life–A Series of (Un)Eventful Events', 'The Idiot of St. Benedict and Other Stories', 'Irresistible Blending', 'I'm Having a Knippchen', 'Journeys into Modern Mythologies', 'The Treasury of Tales', 'Fox-trails, -tales & -trots', 'Young Voices - Short Fiction by Young Writers from Luxembourg', 'HIGH FIVE!', and 'Fresh from the Fountain'. The press aims to promote English-language literature in Luxembourg and abroad, serving a multicultural readership and opening doors for novelists, poets, short-story writers, and playwrights who have not yet reached Luxembourg's diverse reading public.

Black Fountain Press was founded in 2017 in Luxembourg. It was established as the country's first publishing house dedicated to literature in English, aiming to provide a platform for writers who choose to express themselves in English rather than in Luxembourg's traditional languages. The press also sought to serve writers of all nationalities who are in one way or another connected to Luxembourg. From its inception, Black Fountain Press has published short stories, novels, poetry, and plays, and has worked to open doors for novelists, poets, short-story writers, and playwrights who had not yet reached Luxembourg's multicultural readership. Additionally, it has helped established Luxembourgish authors reach a wider audience by publishing English translations of their work. The press has released a range of titles, including 'Saudade, I Spoke Your Language', 'Into Babel', 'Nightscapes', 'M for Amnesia', 'A Pint of Fish Fingers – Tales of a Wonderer', 'Medea // Ajax & Tecmessa', 'Life–A Series of (Un)Eventful Events', 'The Idiot of St. Benedict and Other Stories', 'Irresistible Blending', 'I'm Having a Knippchen', 'Journeys into Modern Mythologies', 'The Treasury of Tales', 'Fox-trails, -tales & -trots', 'Young Voices - Short Fiction by Young Writers from Luxembourg', 'HIGH FIVE!', and 'Fresh from the Fountain'. Its ambition remains to promote English-language literature in Luxembourg and abroad.
