Casa Lago Press is an independent publisher of books that deal with the Italian diaspora in its many manifestations. 

Founded as an outlet for the non-traditional in either form or content, if not both, Casa Lago Press does not shy away from the provocative.

Before submitting your work to Casa Lago Press, please write to us on the "Contact" page here. We will respond in a timely fashion.

All books are subject to blind peer-review. Further still, at Casa Lago Press we expect our authors to make every effort to campaign for their books within the community of scholars and interested readers.

Review copies are availble upon request. We ask that you supply us with the title of the journal in which the review is to appear. We also ask for two copies of the review once it is published. If the journal is located beyond North America (USA and Canada), we will send a PDF file instead of a paper copy. The postage rates are simply too high, and the local customs department can impose high taxes.
Casa Lago Press has three book series:

Diaspora: As “diaspora” is the dispersion or spread of people from their original home-land, this book series takes its name in the intellectual spirit of willful dis-persion of subject matter and thought. It is dedicated to publishing those studies and creative works that in various and sundry ways speak to or offer new methods of analysis and/or articulations of the Italian diaspora.

Spuntini: This book series is dedicated to the long essay. It includes those studies that are longer than the traditional journal-length essay and yet shorter than the traditional book-length manuscript. Intellectually, it is a light meal, a snack of sorts that holds you over for the full helping that comes with either lunch or dinner.

Voci italiane: This series is dedicated to those works directly related to Italy, which may have their origins in Italy or abroad. They may be prose, poetry, criticism, history, and the like.
