Artemis Yayınları

What Artemis Yayınları does

Artemis Yayınları is a Turkish trade book publisher founded in 2003 as a subsidiary of Alfa Yayın Grubu (AlfaPublishing Group), headquartered in the historic Cağaloğlu district of Istanbul. The company publishes fiction across fantasy, romance, crime-adventure, mystery/thriller, horror, and young adult genres, alongside translated international works and licensed children's books. It operates two specialized imprints—Artemis Milenyum for young adult titles and ArtemisÇocuk for licensed children's books—and runs its own printing house with proprietary edge pattern printing and special dyeing capabilities that the company describes as breaking new ground in Turkey.

The company sells books primarily through domestic Turkish retail bookstores and the group's e-commerce platform (alfakitap.com) using a direct-to-consumer go-to-market motion, accepting manuscript submissions via email and evaluating them over a three-month period. Revenue is generated through unit-based book sales across formats including hardcover, paperback, and special boxed sets with character cards, stickers, and posters. Its 26 employees support editorial, graphics, and rights functions, and the company holds core licensing agreements with Warner Bros. and DreamWorks Animation for character-based children's books covering DC Comics, Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo, Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, and How to Train Your Dragon, among other franchises.

Artemis differentiates through its content library spanning thousands of titles, proprietary in-house printing technology, and access to Alfa Yayın Grubu's distribution and operational infrastructure. The company also operates a Foreign Rights department that has sold translation rights internationally, including to Russian publisher Eksmo, and maintains active social media engagement through Facebook and Twitter. No revenue figures, investor backing, ownership percentages, or capital structure information have been publicly disclosed.
