Who We Are

Elyssar Press, established in 2018, is a publishing company inspired by the legendary Queen Elyssar. In the 9th century BC, Elyssar and her loyal followers fled Phoenician Tyre, crossed the Mediterranean, and founded the city of Carthage, a place that became a crossroads of global thought, culture, and creativity.

Elyssar’s courage and vision guide our mission. We believe in the power of storytelling to celebrate life, foster connection, and cultivate a shared space for knowledge and expression.

We honor the value of an international community, interwoven through stories, discoveries, and shared truths. We see writing as a vital act that awakens our commitment to one another and to the planet.

Elyssar Press provides a platform for emerging and established writers, poets, and artists from around the world. We champion diverse voices and value individuality, cultural richness, and the transformative power of language and art.
