What Editorial Alma does

Editorial Alma, operated by ANDERS PRODUCCIONES SL, is a Barcelona-based independent book publisher founded circa 2021 that specializes in Spanish-language illustrated editions of universal classic literature, supported by puzzle/activity books, children's and young adult titles, mystery fiction, and literary merchandise (bookmarks, agendas, literary puzzles). Its portfolio is organized into multiple branded collections — Clásicos Ilustrados (flagship illustrated hardcovers), Jardín Secreto (luxury floral-illustrated editions with inserted historical materials), Panorama (immersive editions with painted edges), Pocket Ilustrados (compact paperbacks), Cozy Mystery / Crimen y Misterio, Ingenio (puzzles and brain teasers), Creatividad (activity books), Infantil y Juvenil, and Objetos Literarios — produced through collaborations with more than 80 illustrators across a catalog of 250+ classic authors.

The business is a traditional editorial operation without proprietary technology platforms; its core competency is curation, illustration commissioning, and physical/digital book production. Editorial Alma runs two podcasts ('Clásicos con Altura' and 'Meraki') on Spotify and YouTube and maintains an active social presence on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Spotify to drive top-of-funnel engagement, alongside blog content and event participation at cultural moments such as Sant Jordi in Barcelona and Jane Austen Regency celebrations.

Revenue is generated through one-time book and merchandise sales via a hybrid distribution model: direct-to-consumer through the editorialalma.com e-commerce storefront, plus channel partnerships with major Spanish retailers (Casa del Libro, FNAC, El Corte Inglés) and online marketplaces (Amazon Spain, Agapea, Todostuslibros.com). Target segments include bibliophiles and book collectors, children and young adult readers, puzzle and brain-training enthusiasts, and general adult literature readers. The company has received project funding from Spain's Ministerio de Cultura and the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility, and is privately held with no disclosed institutional equity investment.
