Passage Publishing

Passage Publishing is a prominent new right independent publisher, founded in 2021 and led by former University of California, Irvine (UCI) lecturer Jonathan Keeperman. Passage Publishing produces works from various online communities, reprints and new translations of fiction and historical nonfiction, and has stated plans to publish new fiction and nonfiction.

Passage Publishing has been described as differing from many other publishing houses in its niche, in that it offers new work by “the contemporary far-right’s intellectual celebrities,” “curat[es] in-person events,” and presides over a literary and art award.

History
Passage Publishing was founded in 2021 out of the Passage Prize, an online writing and arts competition offering a $20,000 prize for selected works. It received over 2,000 submissions.

In 2023, Passage Prize was rebranded as “Passage Publishing,” and has expanded through acquisitions of both Mystery Grove Publishing, and a magazine, Man’s World.

Publishing
Passage Publishing has published three books resulting from its Passage Prize writing and art competitions. Hardcover editions range from $300 to $400.

Passage also works with prominent online authors by publishing compendiums of their works. As of May 2024, this has included Nick Land, Steve Sailer, and Curtis Yarvin.

Through its imprint, Passage Classics, Passage Publishing also offers works by Ernst Jünger, Peter Kemp, Pyotr Wrangel, Serge Obolensky and Joseph Conrad.

Arts and Culture
Passage Publishing also engages in cultural projects, including sponsoring highly publicized events  with fashion designer Elena Velez, citing the Passage Publishing and its founder as inspiration. Passage Publishing also hosts in-person events alongside its book releases, in cities such as Austin, Miami, Los Angeles, and New York City.
