Clear Voice Press - Giving Voices to Stories

Clear Voice Press is an independent publisher dedicated to literary works that speak across languages, cultures, and borders. We publish original writing and translations in both English and Chinese, with a focus on storytelling that illuminates identity, memory, migration, and the human condition.

Founded by a bilingual writer and translator with decades of experience in journalism, literary translation, and cross-cultural communication, Clear Voice Press was born from the belief that language is not a barrier but a bridge.

• Original fiction and creative nonfiction in English and Chinese
• Bilingual or cross-cultural works exploring themes like diaspora, displacement, and belonging 
• Literary translations between Chinese and English 
• Debut voices and established authors who speak across cultures
• Voices from the margins, including underrepresented or first-time authors  

 We aim to amplify voices that are too often lost in translation, both literally and figuratively. Whether nurturing original works or bringing existing stories into new linguistic and cultural contexts, we are committed to clarity, authenticity, and literary excellence. 

Readers who crave thoughtful, lyrical, and emotionally resonant stories, whether told from a quiet Shanghai alleyway, a New England college town, or a place that exists between worlds and between languages. We welcome bilingual readers, global citizens, and anyone curious about lives different from their own.

Clear Voice Press is a platform for collaboration. We work closely with authors and translators to bring out the heart of every story, whether it’s a debut voice or a seasoned pen. 

We aim to cultivate relationships, conversations, and cross-cultural understanding.

We welcome queries from writers, translators, and literary agents who share our vision. 

If you have a story that crosses cultures and carries a voice with clarity and truth, we’d love to hear from you.
