Nya Doxa

Nya Doxa is a Swedish book publisher. Founded in 1990 when it took over parts of the book stock from the bankrupt publishing company Doxa. They publish mostly books within humanities and social science.[1] They have previously published about 25–30 new titles a year, but later moved towards published 10–12 books per year instead.[2]

Nya Doxa puts focus on publishing titles of good scientific quality, both the specialized kind and more popular books targeted at a wider public audience. They have occasionally published fiction, but largely keeps to non-fiction.[2] The publishing house both publishes books by Swedish writers and translations from English, German and French.[3] They also distribute books for other small publishers.

Nya Doxa is located in the Swedish town of Nora, where it moved in 1989[4] as CEO David Stansvik's wife had family there.[2] Stensvik also owned the bookshop in Nora, but sold it in 2007.[5]
