MAGE Publishers
Mage Publishers is a small press founded in 1985 by an Iranian couple in Washington, DC. Initially
they published works both for those in the West interested in an authentic view of Persian literature,
art, music, food and poetry, and for those whose cultural heritage was Persian, but whose intellectual
language had become English. Ten years and more than 30 books later, Mage continues to publish
those aspects of Persian literature, art, culture and history that interest a global community..
