Our Quiet Corner of the World
Bookoccino began as a kitchen-table zine in a tiny apartment above a café in Lisbon. Today, our editorial team spans nine time zones, but our address remains intimate and unhurried. We believe great stories arrive like slow-brewed coffee — best savored in good company.
Drop us a line, send a manuscript, or visit our Lisbon studio between 10 and 5, Tuesday through Saturday. We keep a kettle warm and a guest chair ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I submit a story to Bookoccino?
Send your pitch or completed piece to [email protected] with a brief bio and one sentence on why the story belongs with us. We read every submission and respond within three weeks, sometimes with thoughtful notes even when we pass.
Can I republish an article from Bookoccino?
We welcome republication for non-commercial use with proper attribution and a link back to the original piece. For syndication or commercial partnerships, please email [email protected] and we'll explore possibilities together.
Do you accept book review requests from publishers?
Yes, though we cannot guarantee coverage. Send review copies and a one-paragraph pitch to [email protected]. Our editors evaluate based on fit with our current themes and reader interest, not publication date.
How can I pitch a podcast episode or interview?
We love fresh conversation ideas. Email [email protected] with the guest's name, their recent work, and three questions you'd ask them. Bonus points for ideas that pair beautifully with an espresso.
