History
Origins
New Vessel Press was co-founded by writer/translator Ross Ufberg and author/journalist Michael Z. Wise[7] in 2012[8] with the intention of bringing foreign literature to English-speaking audiences. New Vessel Press print books are distributed to bookstores throughout the United States and Canada by Consortium Book Sales & Distribution. All NVP titles are also available as ebooks. [9] "Ross and Michael have really spun gold out of nothing; they've really made an instant classic out of New Vessel," John Oakes, director of the New School Publishing Institute and co-founder of OR Books, told Crain's New York Business.[10]in May 2017.

Book covers for New Vessel Press translations have been created by graphic artist Liana Finck.[11]
