About Gutkind Publishers

Gutkind Forlag A/S is a publishing house located in one of the oldest parts of Copenhagen and we are based on professionalism, personality, and an editorial mindset.

The publishing house was founded in January 2020 with the ambition of publishing literature of high quality, across all genres: particular and thought-provoking works of outstanding authors and entertaining and enjoyable books by international bestseller authors. Under the Gutkind Forlag umbrella, you will find the two imprints, Gutkind and Alpha.

At Alpha, we publish translated and Danish fiction and crime novels, with a focus on compelling storytelling for a broad audience, together with carefully curated non-fiction titles. At Gutkind, we focus primarily on Danish and Scandinavian fiction together with non-fiction titles of all sorts. The Alpha and Gutkind imprints share the ambition of publishing books to a wide range of readers with quality and impact as the guiding principles.

Gutkind Forlag is owned by the Swedish media group Bonnier Books and operates as an independent Danish publishing house with full editorial freedom and specific market knowledge.

Reading and literature play a creative and transformative role in society and in people’s lives. This gives us a unique responsibility as publishers: we want to make our titles visible and relevant to a broad readership, and we aim to ensure that a wide range of diverse voices are continually present in the public discourse.
