Hoff & Poulsen

Hoff & Poulsen is a small independent Danish publishing house (forlag) founded by Jacob Maagaard Poulsen and Lasse Rask Hoff. The two founders brought complementary publishing backgrounds to the venture: Poulsen came from Informations Forlag, while Hoff came from Forlaget Bahnhof / Rosenkilde & Bahnhof. The press is based at Kristian Zahrtmanns Plads in Copenhagen. The publisher describes itself as an independent house issuing modern and classic fiction. Its catalogue mixes contemporary translated crime and literary fiction — such as Kate Hamer's The Girl in the Red Coat and Alex Marwood's The Wicked Girls — with modern literary titles and reissued classics. Among its notable publications is Thomas Harder's Danish translation of Giovanni Boccaccio's Decameron. The list also includes works by Nobel laureate Yasunari Kawabata, including Thousand Cranes and The Sleeping Beauties, as well as titles by Kåre Bluitgen, Anthony Marra, Arthur Machen, James Hogg, István Örkény, Stine Bork, Arne Garborg, Robert Pobi and others. As a small independent publisher, Hoff & Poulsen operates in the Danish-language book market, curating a focused list that spans translated international fiction and Danish authors. Its identity is tied to the editorial tastes and industry experience of its two founders rather than to a large media group.
