Ignarum Press

Stories built to last, published with care.

An independent imprint, built one book at a time

Ignarum Press is an independent publishing imprint based in Ireland, founded by author Alessandro Giusti. The press exists to publish work with genuine craft behind it — fiction shaped by care in the writing, the editing, and the production, rather than rushed to market.

The name comes from Latin — ignarum, "the unknowing" — a nod to stories that begin with what a character, or a reader, doesn't yet understand about the world they're in.

Ignarum Press currently publishes in English and Brazilian Portuguese, with titles available through Amazon KDP in both paperback and Kindle editions.

"A good story doesn't need to be loud. It needs to be true to itself, carried all the way through, and given to readers who deserve the effort."
