This painting by an artist in Northeastern Brazil says a lot about Endeavor Literary Press. We cultivate books that bring beauty, meaning, and knowledge to readers, giving personal attention to each title.

Endeavor Literary Press publishes fiction, memoirs, poetry, and narrative nonfiction. We are especially eager to publish Brazilian writers, as a way of elevating more South American voices and perspectives among English-speaking audiences. Two of our staff members are fluent in Brazilian Portuguese and equipped to facilitate professional translations from Portuguese to English.

We no longer publish scholarly nonfiction. In late 2023, we moved our scholarly nonfiction books to our sibling imprint Upriver Press.
