Congratulation Michel!

We are so honored to share that Interlink’s founder, Michel Moushabeck has been shortlisted for the 2025 IPA Prix Voltaire “which recognizes those publishers who fight for their freedom to publish, for their freedom to recognize the remarkable work of a creator and to try to bring it to readers. As we see from the world around us the freedom of expression can erode very quickly with obvious influence on the Freedom to Publish. These are rights that we constantly must fight for, and as a number of publishers in our shortlist this year suggest, from exile if necessary.”
