Milpa Agency is a creative publishing and storytelling house that develops ideas designed to travel. Through Milpa Press, Milpa Rights, and Milpa Studio, we work with authors and creative collaborators to bring thoughtful stories and projects to audiences across books, screen, and global media.

Milpa Press develops a small number of carefully selected works of fiction and non-fiction each year. We focus on thoughtful books that explore ideas, stories, and perspectives with the potential to resonate across cultures and generations.

Milpa Press develops a limited number of projects each year and does not currently accept unsolicited submissions.

From time to time, we open submissions for selected projects. If you would like to be notified when opportunities arise, you are welcome to subscribe to the Milpa Agency mailing list.

Many projects begin through conversation. We often develop ideas in collaboration with writers, thinkers, and creative partners whose work aligns with the spirit of Milpa Agency.

From time to time, we also acquire or develop projects originating outside the Milpa ecosystem.

Milpa Rights manages and develops intellectual property originating both within Milpa Agency and from selected external works. This includes translation rights, international publishing partnerships, and opportunities for adaptation across film, television, and emerging media.

Milpa Studio develops stories for screen across film, television, and emerging visual formats. Some projects originate from books within the Milpa Agency ecosystem, while others begin as original concepts developed with writers, filmmakers, and creative collaborators.

Milpa Agency welcomes thoughtful enquiries from authors, publishers, filmmakers, and creative partners interested in developing meaningful projects. If you believe your work aligns with the spirit of Milpa Agency, please visit the Contact page to introduce yourself.
