The publishing house Gita was founded in Istanbul in 2004. Following its creation, the house quickly adopted a general editorial policy about the publications of novels, autobiographies, philosophical essays and historical narratives.

The main concern of GiTa is to primarily publish quality works while improving relationships between writers, publishers, booksellers and readers and secondly to publicize the books for their literary or philosophical value and thus make an important contribution to world culture.

Thirdly, another objective of this house is to relay the works of great French writers who were never translated into Turkish. While most of its publications are in Turkish, GiTa created a “French department” for that end and is currently one of the only publishing houses in Turkey that publishes books in French.

Finally, the last objective of GiTa is to specialize in travel books by publishing the works of experienced travelers and professional guides who visited the presented countries.
