Bringing Chinese stories to English readers

At West Link Books, we believe that powerful stories deserve to cross borders.
We work closely with Chinese authors to bring their voices into the English-speaking world — with care, cultural sensitivity, and a deep understanding of both literary and market needs.
At the same time, we’re building a platform for readers who are curious about Chinese literature. Through reviews, interviews, and reflections, we introduce diverse works in translation and explore the themes, histories, and voices behind them.
Whether you’re a writer seeking support or a reader discovering a new favourite, West Link Books is here to help Chinese stories travel further.

Reflections on Books We Love
West Link Books isn’t just a service — it’s also a space to explore the richness of Chinese and world literature.
This section is where we share the books that inspire us — especially works in translation that cross cultures, challenge perspectives, or simply stay with us.
As we work to bring new voices into English, we also honour the stories that have already made an impact. These reflections are part of our mission to build a bridge between readers, writers, and worlds.
