HELA Press publishes books that explore the relationship between image, performance, and text. Our catalogue features poetry, prose, and essays, along with the indefinable, including new works and translations.

Embracing the paperback tradition at the heart of public engagement, our inaugural series is at once conceptual and graspable. We publish artists, writers, and researchers from around the world.

HELA Press was founded in London in 2025 by Helena Czernecka. The series is distributed worldwide and designed by Teo Schifferli.
