And Other Stories is an independent British book publisher founded in 2009, notable for being the first UK publisher of literary fiction to make direct, advance subscriptions a major part of its business model as well as for its use of foreign language reading groups to choose the books that it publishes. The company originally operated from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, but is now based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. In 2012, it was nominated for the Newcomer of the Year award by the Independent Publishers Guild (IPG), and has gone on to publish multiple award-winning books, most recently the 2025 International Booker Prize winner .
And Other Stories was founded in 2009 by Stefan Tobler. And Other Stories first came to the public's attention when its first book, Down the Rabbit Hole by Juan Pablo Villalobos (translated by Rosalind Harvey), was chosen by the public to be one of the 10 titles longlisted for the 2011 Guardian First Book Award. It went on to make the shortlist and has also been shortlisted for the Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize.

Following Kamila Shamsie's 2015 call for publishers to address gender disparity in book prizes, And Other Stories was the only press to answer her by publishing only women throughout 2018. This included then unpublished work from cult writer Ann Quin, titled The Unmapped Country: Stories and Fragments. A resurgence of popularity for the obscure "writer from the front rank of Britain's literary avant-garde" continued with a reprinting of her complete catalogue by And Other Stories, including Berg (2019), Three (2020), and Tripticks (2022).
Award listings continued throughout and beyond the pandemic. Phenotypes by Paulo Scott was longlisted for the 2022 International Booker Prize, and it won And Other Stories the prestigious Jabuti Prize for best foreign publication of a Brazilian book in 2023.
