St. Jerome Publishing is a small independent press that operates partly on a mail order basis and partly through booksellers and subscription agents. It is committed to promoting high quality research and publication in all areas of translation studies and intercultural communication. While operating on a commercial basis to ensure long term survival, the first and foremost concern of this publishing house is to support the development of translation studies and other disciplines concerned with intercultural communication, and to help create an environment in which the work of promising young scholars can reach the research community, unhampered by bureaucracy or academic politics.

St. Jerome Publishing launched its first publication, The Translator, in 1995. A refereed international journal with a highly distinguished Editorial Board, The Translator has since attracted subscribers in virtually every country in the world and is widely regarded as one of the leading journals in the field. Since then, St. Jerome has been publishing high quality academic monographs, textbooks, reference works and periodicals, including Translation Studies Abstracts, the first abstracting service of its kind and an invaluable research tool for scholars of translation and other forms of intercultural communication. In 2004, Translation Studies Abstracts will be available online to subscribers; nevertheless St. Jerome will continue to produce a print version once a year to ensure that scholars with limited access to the internet are not disadvantaged.

St. Jerome publishes two series dedicated to providing support to teachers and learners of translation: Translation Theories Explained and Translation Practices Explained. The Encounters series, launched in 2000, focuses on diversity in language use and privileges topics which interest a broad community of scholars working in anthropological linguistics and pragmatics, particularly the pragmatics of intercultural communication. These include mixedness, creolization, politeness strategies, cross-over phenomena and heterogeneity.

Also available from St. Jerome is a wide range of publications distributed on behalf of small university presses and various academic publishers, including Rodopi, Chicago University Press, Routledge, Rutgers University Press, Multilingual Matters, Northern Illinois University Press, Longman, Binghamton University Press, Scholastica (Hungary), Writescope Pty (Australia), Hankook Publishing (South Korea), and many more.
