A publishing imprint
Albertine Code Books publishes short stories, artist and filmmaker interviews, collections of correspondences, unsent letters, recipes and various diary entries by fictitious characters and real people.
It’s an unfurling, paper archive packaged as a healthy snack for your mind and heart. Kerstin’s reading and writing projects have been ongoing since she was 8-years old.
Kerstin has a PhD in comparative literature which means she trained to be a professional reader. She founded and shuttered a publishing imprint named after her two grandmothers, Harriet and Leone.
Through Harriet and Leone Kerstin published photography books, a collection of maps of non-existent countries, novels-in-progress and other things. Albertine Code Books streamlines the magpie nature of Kerstin’s reading-obsession by keeping texts short and thought open. She prefers genres that are familiar to vast numbers of people. Hence recipes, short notes, and one-off wonders about the world. She solicits work and finds readers such as you who managed to find her.
