— Aristotle

Gracing Guadalajara 

FIL Guadalajara gave us a jolt of inspiration this year. In meetings, our Spanish editor partners were sharply focused on:

  • nonfiction spirituality, personal finance, entrepreneurship, and health (especially gut, hormones, glucose, sleep, and mental health);

  • fiction Romantasy, Horromance, and novellas;

  • kids beautifully illustrated picture books plus shorter middle-grade chapter books.

And it was a joy to see many of our titles for sale in our partners' beautiful stands throughout the fair! ¡Hasta la próxima!


Spring Book Fairs

We’re Heading to London & Bologna 2026 — Book Your Slot!


We’re all familiar with the quirky timing of the publishing world: as soon as one book fair ends, preparations for the next one are already underway. In this spirit, we’re delighted to announce that in 2026 we will take part in the London Book Fair and the Bologna Children’s Book Fair.

We’ve already received our first meeting requests, so we’ve decided to officially open our appointment calendar. Hoping to meet many of you—whether in the UK or in Italy—here are the links to our schedule.
