Goa,1556

Goa,1556 was founded by journalist Frederick Noronha. The name was inspired by the accidental arrival of the Gutenberg printing press to Goa in the year 1556 - the first of its kind in all of Asia. The primary goal of his publishing company is to democratise the production of knowledge. It argues that today, more than ever, Goa needs a voice to articulate its own priorities.

The editorial modulation of Goa,1556 is non-fiction writing related to Goa, with emphasis on books which "shed interesting new light on various aspects that help better understand the complex region called Goa."

The company’s name memorialises the date when the first printing press in Asia came into operation in Goa. Noronha says his company doesn’t seek profits but exists because “today, more than ever, Goa needs a voice to articulate its own priorities. Goa 1556 publishes a book almost every month. Launched on a rainy day (June 20, 2007), Goa, 1556 is a quest to do things differently, and with goals that are different. Our aim is to democratise the production of knowledge. In our own small, alternative way. And we strive for quality simply by laying down high standards, while actively pursuing the goal of creating space for ‘other voices’ to be heard.

Goa,1556 publishes E-Books and Books on these subjects: Young Adult, Women, Reference, Military, Literature, Literary Fiction, Literary Criticism, and Journalism in these languages: Portuguese, Spanish, and English
