Egyptian publishing house, Kayan Publishing, specialising in novels, short stories, science fiction, poetry, and non-fiction with an emphasis on Egyptian/Middle Eastern perspectives and cultural significance, has recently bought publishing and distribution rights of 22 works by renowned Egyptian author and doctor Ahmed Khalid Tawfik.

Under the agreement, Kayan Publishing will produce new editions of Tawfik’s existing titles, earlier published by Laila Publishing House – “Kayan Corp” including: Coffee with Uranium (2012), and the Rainbow series (2005) co-authored with Dr Tamer Ibrahim.
