NOSMA - AccessibleBooks Publisher - Cyprus

Nosma Editions is an independent publishing initiative that promotes new perspectives on learning, storytelling, and cultural production, grounded in openness, inclusivity, and critical thinking. Its vision centres on expanding “new horizons of thought and learning development,” positioning each publication as an opportunity to question norms, stimulate imagination, and foster meaningful engagement with diverse ideas.

A distinctive aspect of Nosma Editions’ philosophy is its strong commitment to inclusive narratives and accessible reading experiences. The publisher explicitly advocates for “literature without barriers” and highlights reading as a fundamental right for all, including children and individuals who may be excluded from mainstream publishing formats. This perspective aligns closely with accessibility principles by recognising that representation, language, and format all influence who can access and benefit from cultural content.

Nosma Editions places particular emphasis on diversity in storytelling, including gender-inclusive narratives and imaginative content that moves beyond traditional stereotypes. By questioning whose voices are represented in stories and how identities are portrayed, the publisher contributes to a more inclusive cultural ecosystem that supports the participation of underrepresented groups.

From an accessibility standpoint, this approach extends beyond technical accessibility to include cognitive, linguistic, and cultural accessibility. The publications of Nosma aim to be accessible by simplifying complex ideas, embracing inclusive language, and encouraging multiple perspectives, using AAC symbols, offering books in Sign Language and Audio versions. The example of the first edition can be found here, available in various accessible formats.
