The Quarto group already sells books across 50 countries and in 39 languages. This week they expanded on this further, with the launch of Quarto Iberoamericana – a new Spanish language imprint.

The new Quarto Iberoamericana imprint will publish 20 books a year with the first six books,launching in Autumn 2017, in adult categories such as cookery, lifestyle and spirituality. Titles will be sourced from Quarto’s rich intellectual property catalogue.

Marcus Leaver, Chief Executive of The Quarto Group, commented: “Our stated intention to further expand our scale and reach around the globe sees it third iteration in the Spanish language, following the successful launch of Kalimat Quarto, our Arab language imprint in 2016, and Quarto Editora, our Brazilian imprint in 2015. This is another great example of finding further opportunities for growth with the right partners who share our values.”

David Inman, Managing Director, Quarto Partners added: “There is tremendous opportunity in the Spanish language market and we believe this new venture with our long-standing partner Catapulta Editores will help us grow our business further around the world.”
