Nestled (as every small independent press ought to be) in the hills outside North America's only UNESCO City of Literature, Autumn Hill Books is a non-profit independent press that aims to make translations of contemporary literature from around the world more widely available in English. AHB publishes only works in translation, which it selects from among the many fine books being published throughout the world today. It maintains close ties with the writing and residency programs at the University of Iowa, and with such Iowa-based publications as The Iowa Review, exchanges magazine, and 91st Meridian.
