Dalia is an independent publishing house, founded in Terni in 2014, specializing in contemporary literary fiction and illustrated stories for children.
Like the Baltic goddess of the same name, Dalia weaves stories that look toward the future.
In all our books, from first readings for children to novels in our fiction series, we aim to renew the bond between awareness and imagination, because understanding who we are allows us to imagine who we can become, the worlds we might inhabit, and gives us the freedom to choose where we want to go.
The world changes, and we need new stories. Stubborn, courageous, and innovative storytelling leaves well-trodden paths and seeks new ways to tell who we are, our desires, frustrations, hopes, ambitions, and drives to narrate our ever-evolving identity.
We seek out and promote authors with keen insight, capable of navigating the present, the abundance of real and virtual events, signs, messages, and things in search of meaning and answers beyond the obvious. Authors who are aware, able to play with the tools of storytelling and cast a free and attentive gaze upon reality, bringing it back to the reader imbued with significance.
