Black Flamingo Publishing is a new Bulgarian publishing company registered in 2010. The Black Flamingo publishing house aims to give a voice to various social groups, minorities and others outside the public centre of attention and outside the mainstream spotlight: a place to enable individual voices to be heard. These may be young and often insufficiently established writers, people who have their own unusual story to tell, or people with eccentric ideas ahead of their time. In other words, those whom society often consciously or unconsciously tries to marginalize or neglect out of bigotry, puritanism or narrow-mindedness. For us, the voices of those who are in some way different are the voices of the future; those that make us ponder human nature and to seek new ways to reach out to those who need understanding and support. Black Flamingo Publishing was nominated for the “Hristo G. Danov” National Literary Award in the category 'The Art of Book' in 2011 Staff employed: 2 persons Partners: - translators: 2 persons - graphic design; artwork: 3 personsMission and Objectives
Mission: Black Flamingo Publishing is a Bulgarian publisher of innovative poetry, drama, fiction and specialized art and documentary projects. Black Flamingo Publishing is the natural choice for young writers, poets and authors of fiction and documentary literature targeting the cultural elite. We publish both translated literature and Bulgarian authors, whom we present outside Bulgaria. In order to broaden the readership of our authors, Black Flamingo Publishing will cooperate with Messechina Music (www.messechina-music.com), organising joint promotions combining music with dramatized text. Objectives: Black Flamingo Publishing focuses on fiction and documentary literature targeting alternative cultural elite outside formal frameworks and concepts. We aim to become an attractive center for alternative and unconventionally-minded writers.Main Projects / Activities

We will popularize Middle Eastern literature in Bulgaria as we believe at the moment there is a very limited visibility of both ancient and contemporary culture from the region. Additionally we will work toward inter-cultural exchange between Bulgaria and the countries from the Middle East.Why do you want to join the ALF Network?
We would like to publish works of a number of Middle Eastern writers and poets such as Naguib Mahfouz, Yusuf Idris, Tayeb Salih, and Adonis among many others.
