Working across New York and London, we champion a breadth of perspectives, from every side of a debate to every facet of human experience. We believe the best stories give readers the space to reflect, challenge their thinking, and see the world differently — and we’re building a home bold enough to bring these stories to the world.
High Line takes its name from New York's iconic elevated park — one of the city's most loved public spaces, and one of its most quietly radical ideas. Walk it, and the city you thought you knew looks different: new perspectives, new details, the same famous skyline seen from somewhere you'd never otherwise stand.
High Line Publishing Studio offers readers a shift in vantage point: the opportunity to joyfully and meaningfully engage with parts of the literary world that have gone underserved for too long, giving readers and authors alike a new place from which to see the world.
Our books will be published in all formats and distributed globally by Hachette.
Our Imprints
Two imprints. Distinct perspectives.
We publish through two initial imprints: Odessa Editions, showcasing distinctive Jewish voices across fiction and non-fiction, and Antidote Books, championing bold, cross-spectrum non-fiction.
Our Leadership
The voices behind
High Line.
“
“I’ve spent my career working alongside extraordinary writers who are unafraid to challenge assumptions or push the boundaries of our thinking with incredible storytelling. The opportunity to build a publisher that combines serious commercial ambition with a genuine commitment to creative freedom was not just exciting, but something I felt was truly needed in the publishing sector. That is why High Line exists: to champion distinctive voices, publish exceptional books, and connect them with the broadest possible readership.”
“
“The world is in a ridiculous mess, and we won’t fix it by silencing people, ignoring ideas, or sticking to what we think we know. High Line aims to give a voice to those who need one, and I hope the result — no doubt in turn inspiring, intriguing, infuriating, but always interesting – will inch us toward some kind of sensible progress. This is exactly what publishing should be doing, as we continue to navigate a troubled century.”
“
“High Line is built on a simple principle: we exist to serve the author — not the other way around. From day one, we are being completely open about who we are and how we work, in an environment that values creative dynamism above all else. By keeping our mission focused, we can therefore invest where it matters most: discovering exceptional books, giving authors the editorial attention they deserve, and connecting them with readers right around the world.”
“
“Odessa Editions launches at a moment of real opportunity, both in terms of phenomenal Jewish and Israeli writers needing a supportive and safe home, and readers across the world looking for more extraordinary Jewish voices across both fiction and non-fiction. Odessa was one of the great 19th-century centers of Jewish literary life: pluralistic, imaginative, bold, and rich in storytelling. Odessa Editions carries that spirit into the 21st century with books that bring Jewish writing — in all its breadth, originality and vitality — to audiences worldwide.”
“
“The best books begin with curiosity. They’re written by people who have spent years wrestling with difficult questions and have something genuinely new to say. That’s the kind of publishing we’re championing at Antidote Books — non-fiction books that challenge, surprise, and stay with readers long after they’ve finished the final page or the headlines have moved on.”
“
“Publishing is so much more than acquiring a great manuscript. It’s about championing that book and its author at every stage of the journey — bringing together thoughtful strategy, creative ambition, and a deeply committed team to help each story reach the broadest possible audience. High Line's goal is to build publishing partnerships that give exceptional books the attention they deserve and connect them with readers around the world.”
