Director, Lic. Adriana Rodríguez, how were the beginnings of the Editorial?
When I was 6 years old, I wrote and put together small booklets in different formats, where I came to make a circular one. In turn, I exercised my profession in Technology, I did a Master’s Degree in Computer Security, until I studied Literature and Art, Cultural Management, and decided with my mother to found Almaluz Editorial, where the blog was to draw a bridge between the authors, the publishing house, bookstores, the public and getting Almaluz to have a presence in Argentina, Latin America and Spain.
How do you prepare for the International Book Fair?
We are currently in the middle of the 47th International Book Fair, where we will be at stand 322, Blue Pavilion, and we will present Los Elegidos en Literatura on May 2 at 7:00 p.m. in the Carlos Gorostiza Room; on May 3 at 7:00 p.m. to Los Elegidos in Social Sciences; on May 4, Explora at 7:00 p.m. and on May 6, Los Elegidos in Psychology and Self-Help at 3:00 p.m. Always containing the authors to represent their projection in the Knowledge Industry, in various formats: e-book, audio book and paper.
What is your secret for having grown in number of publications and authors?
I am convinced that Almaluz proposes a united family, for this reason it achieves that the union makes strength, and thus on the way from the takeoff in 2009, we never hesitated to be with them, the basis of creativity and the commitment to participate in Fairs as presentations, and different attractions that are of general interest. Currently, we bet on an investment perspective where we propose ourselves as a research, publication and dissemination center, according to this model we will be able to implement new objectives where production will be directed to new local and foreign social interests.
How does support play in the knowledge economy?
Although in Argentina, there has been a lack of Credit for a long time, this manages to generate new ideas for development, this forces us to wake up and show ourselves that we can implement new strategies, and we are working on it.
What are your new dreams?
Today we have books in third and fifth edition, achieving Best Sellers is one of the many dreams of our company, that new literary voices emerge, such as specialized books that attract readers.
What are the authors currently publishing?
If we talk about Self Help, the topics are: gender, addictions, abuse, among others. Regarding Social Sciences, topics such as: Politics, Geopolitics: Ukraine, Russia, China, among others. Literature: Investigative and recreational essays, novels, poetry, theater, film script, among others.
What does it take to achieve industry growth?
We have many written projects, we implement them so that those who publish in Almaluz can develop, but those that depend on political decision, there is a lot to be done and this would not even require money, just common sense.
