Storm Publishing expands into German and Spanish with in-house translation initiative

Storm Publishing is preparing to publish its first German and Spanish editions in the second half of 2026, marking a further step in its international expansion.

The Bookseller reported on May 18, 2026 that the publisher plans to launch those editions as part of a broader translation-led growth strategy. Storm’s own public statements also point to a wider push into translation rights and overseas publishing.

International push

Storm says Kathryn Taussig is leading its global ventures, including publishing in translation and rights. The company has also said it works with foreign publishers to make its books available in local languages worldwide.

The expansion follows recent international activity from Storm, including a joint venture with Giunti Editore for Italian publishing announced in October 2025. Storm’s news archive also references recent international rights and translation deals.

The company has not yet said which titles will be first to appear in German and Spanish, or whether the launches will rely entirely on in-house translation or involve outside partners.

What happens next

The key next milestone is the release of the first German and Spanish editions in the second half of 2026. For now, Storm’s announcement suggests the publisher is using translation rights and local-language publishing as a central part of its growth plan.
