About Blue Kite Publishing
This publishing initiative is born out of a long-standing commitment to education, creativity, and student voice. Backed by Aevo Media Group, an organization with over 14 years of experience in Korea’s educational landscape, the press aims to create a meaningful space for stories that often exist between the margins, especially those shaped by the international experience in Korea.
From identity and language to family, movement, and belonging, these narratives deserve to be told and preserved with care.
We’re not just publishing books. We’re building a platform that gives shape to a community.
Our editorial standards reflect the professionalism of our roots, with a team composed of writers, educators, and creative professionals from across the EFL, international school, and educational media worlds. Our goal is to produce beautiful, thoughtful, and lasting volumes — not only for students, but for anyone who has tried to make a home across cultures.
This is the beginning of something long-term. Whether through anthologies, individual authorship, or hybrid storytelling formats, our publishing house is here to elevate stories that matter—and ensure they are shared, heard, and remembered.
