Folio Books is a Lahore-based independent publishing house with a focus on academic non-fiction. We’re, however, also open to other genres and formats of books as long as they fit our profile and politics. Founded in 2017, the publishing house has worked with some of the most important progressive thinkers from South Asia and beyond. We also actively work with like-minded presses from around the world to seek as well as licence territorial rights for select books. Taking forward the South Asian legacy of independent political publishing, we proudly identify as anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist and internationalist.
