Biography

Katara Publishing House is one of the cultural projects established by Katara Cultural Village. It aims to provide a local and international platform for literary and cultural production and publish it at Arabic and international levels. Additionally, it desires to contribute to promoting interest in the Arabic novel as well as cultural studies and research in order to enhance knowledge and establish the Arab and Islamic cultural identity and heritage. This would be achieved through attracting elite authors, publish their works and introduce a vast and varied selection of publications.
