came across, at number 36 of the magazine Letras Libres, 2004, an
article as a chronicle of Beatriz de Moura, founder of the publishing
Tusquets, called How to make an editorial in which he speaks, from its experience of how literature can be a publisher. There
has five parts in the hypothetical story of a boy who undertakes a
publisher, since he conceived the idea and the decision until, some
twenty years later, the company has consolidated.Among
other interesting points to a catalog of...

A
suggestion of a comment by Leroy Gutierrez previous post, I looked at
the articles Letras Libres The beginnings of a collection, counting
Panorama source of narratives (with the usual reference to the miracle
Kennedy Toole), and Mark editorial and password, which advocates
the importance of independent publishers (which will be discussed in a
future post), both of Jorge Herralde, founder and director of Anagram. The two I found interesting and I recommend it. However,
while searching for...

A
few days ago, in a comment to How is a publisher, a reader of the blog
suggested that publishers speak of Peru, which promised to do so. Then,
in a comment to the value of symbolic capital for independent
publishers, another reader said that in Peru almost nobody reads and
repeated a common misconception and, in my view, unfortunate in Peru:
that 'read' is' read books 'and that this amounts to' literature books', sometimes even 'good books for literature'. That reminded me of the post promised...

editorial' (which, in terms of Rafael Martinez Ales, ex-director of
Alianza Editorial...

In
the current discussion about the book offers some key players: authors,
publishers, distributors, booksellers, and readers state. To
each ascribed various responsibilities and, among them, reading
comprehension, is a subject that corresponds to the state (through the
education system) and, to varying degrees, the reader.However, thinking as editor, it strikes me that the issue concerns us directly, mainly through editorial design.I

A
few days ago Iván Thays surveyed in Literary Moleskine, with the
question "Do you agree on the use of photocopies for 'democratizing
culture'?" From Knowledge-goods article published by Rocío Silva
Santisteban in Lima newspaper La República and reproduced on his blog. At
that, Silva Santisteban reflects on the origin of printing (cheaper and
therefore democratize access to books, ie, learning), and on the
current state of book prices, converted into knowledge-commodity to conclude in a...
