Avatar Book Publishing House

BACKGROUND


   Over time, we observed that, unlike books on personal development, most of the famous literature from around the world was not available in Khmer language. This led to the creation of the publishing house Avatar, which aims to fill the gap by providing Khmer translations of popular classics and novels.
  It is crucial to have access to a diverse range of books translated into one’s own language, especially for aspiring authors. Avatar's project is to improve the availability of literature in Khmer language with the goal of encouraging and inspiring Cambodian authors.
  We select popular classics from the 19th and 20th centuries not yet translated into Khmer as well as contemporary novels. We give preference to enjoyable fiction novels and short stories that appeal to a wide range of readers. We also introduce new literary subgenres like fantasy, science-fiction, and thriller, and have a special series featuring stories with animals as main characters.
  Avatar always aims to find ways to encourage reading in Cambodia, one of the powerful tools to inspire those who struggle with writing to read more is comics. We, therefore, decided to translate high-quality comic books from around the world into Khmer.
  Avatar also aims to introduce Cambodian readers to new drawing styles and to inspire a new generation of Cambodian illustrators. The idea of collaborating with Cambodian artists to create unique comic books in Cambodia fills Avatar with inspiration and excitement.



OUR VALUES


   The Khmer language is currently facing a challenge as many young people are not using it for writing. We hope to inspire, promote, and encourage a reconnection with the beauty of the Khmer language by offering books that not only provide pleasure but also expand knowledge.
  By striving for excellence in everything we do, we can reach out to the general public without compromising on quality. Our translations and editing services are of the highest quality, and our Avatar books are a testimony to this. With their fresh and polished cover pages, well-chosen character fonts and easy-to-read layouts, they are not only aesthetically pleasing but also optimally readable. We believe that books should be regarded as both functional and beautiful artifacts.
 
  Avatar is devoted to delivering books of exceptional quality that will captivate your heart and become lifelong companions.
