Bilingual Press / Editorial Bilingüe is a distinguished publisher of Chicano, Latino, and Latin American literature, founded in 1973 at Arizona State University by Gary Keller. It emerged from the Chicano literary movement as a vital platform for bilingual and Spanish-language works, aiming to correct the historical underrepresentation of these voices in mainstream publishing. The press is committed to publishing high-quality fiction, poetry, drama, and scholarship that reflect the diversity of Hispanic cultures in the United States and beyond. Its enduring mission is to foster cross-cultural understanding through literature and to support emerging and established writers who write in Spanish, English, or both.
