Odessa was one of the great historic centers of Jewish literary life, rich in storytelling, debate, scholarship, and wit. Odessa Editions carries that spirit forward, creating a new global home for Jewish and Israeli voices in all their breadth, originality, and vitality. We publish fiction and non-fiction, established names and emerging authors, secular and religious perspectives, from across the political spectrum, and from all around the world.

Some of our books will engage directly with Jewish life, Israel, history, or antisemitism; others will be celebratory, imaginative, personal, or unexpected. What unites them is extraordinary writing, a spirit of openness and nuance, and a dazzling mix of subjects and perspectives. This is the new Odessa.

Odessa is led by Executive Publisher, Jacky Klein.
