The MONKEY imprint at Stone Bridge Press is a partnership between MONKEY New Writing from Japan and California–based SBP. We publish contemporary Japanese literature in translation: novels, story collections, and more.

As Stone Bridge founder Peter Goodman explained in an interview with Kris Kosaka for the Japan Times: “The MONKEY trade imprint fits in with what Stone Bridge’s whole purpose has been from the beginning, which is to expose the inner workings of one culture to another in the hopes that something will leave its mark and improve or expand on the way people view the world.” (“New Monkey Imprint Broadens the Reach of Contemporary Japanese Literature,” by Kris Kosaka, Japan Times, December 1, 2022)
