Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House

Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House is a large publishing company based in Shanghai, China. It is one of China’s oldest publishing houses [1]. It owns the copy right of works by many important contemporary Chinese writers [1], including several novels by Chinese Nobel Prize Laureate Mo Yan [2].

It was established in 1952 as New Literature and Art Publishing House and acquired its current name in 1958 after a merger of several publishing houses. Two of the founding publishers were Ba Jin and Guo Muoro [1].

Shanghai Literature and Art has had a historical focus on both modern Chinese and foreign literature, literary criticism, and art books [1]. More recently, it has branched out into publishing literary magazines. Those publications include Story Time and Fiction World. Story Time has the second largest circulation among Chinese magazines [3].

Contemporary English language authors published by Shanghai Literature and Art include David Mitchell, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Michael Chabon.
