Third State Books brings Asian American and Pacific Islander voices, stories, and issues to audiences that cherish them.
A cornerstone of our ethos is narrative change and owning our own stories. Our name, “Third State,” refers to our unique experience as immigrants and the children of immigrants, being a bridge between cultures. We proudly occupy a distinctive space and identity all our own. Through fiction and nonfiction, for adults and children, Third State Books publishes stories that fully represent authentic Asian American experiences to universal audiences.
