Tilted Axis Press is a non-profit British publishing house specializing in the publication of contemporary Asian literature.[1] Founded by Deborah Smith in 2015 following the success of her translation of Han Kang's The Vegetarian,[2] the organization has gone on to publish 26 books and several chapbooks.[3] Tilted Axis became known as the original translator and English language publisher of Tokyo Ueno Station by Miri Yu,[4] which went on to receive critical acclaim as both a book and translation.[5][6] Their profile rose higher in 2022, when Tomb of Sand, written by Geetanjali Shree and translated by Daisy Rockwell, won the International Booker Prize, marking the first novel written in Hindi to take the award.[7]
