Together, we're rewriting publishing
Immerse yourself in the joy of a beautiful book, the thrill of diving into a new story, exploring imaginary worlds, and connecting with unforgettable characters—this is just the beginning. The true journey starts with passionate authors crafting their narratives, talented cover artists creating stunning visuals, and bookstores transforming their spaces into hubs of excitement and inspiration.
This is why we founded Fidessa Literary—an independent publishing house committed to offering fair rates for our authors, exciting opportunities for artists, and exquisite products for bookstores and our readers. We believe every book should be a treasured experience.
Join us in our love for books, and together, let's celebrate the art of storytelling.
New release: Ivan, Boris and Me
Fidessa Literary is thrilled to announce the release of our first literary book on May 1st, 2024, marking a significant milestone in our brief history. We have many more exciting titles in the pipeline set to debut in the coming months. We are incredibly excited to begin our journey with this captivating story.
Ivan, Boris and Me
Illustrator Elodie Ginsburg and her spendthrift best friend, Boris, are inseparable. Taking care of an audacious yellow-haired clown in a red-and-white-striped onesie and oversized black shoes can be a challenge. However, Boris means the world to Elodie. He is a handful, but he’s her handful. Their symbiosis is disrupted when Ivan Lennard, a former professional cyclist with a closely guarded secret, moves into the house next door and becomes a regular occurrence in their lives. Each encounter is a catalyst for Boris to spiral more out of control and increase his outrageous demands, until Elodie finds herself at a crossroads and has to make the most difficult decision she’s ever made.
