Ediciones Destino

Ediciones Destino is a Spanish publishing house, founded by the editors of the weekly Destino in the 1942. Destino's catalogue includes the most emblematic Spanish authors of the post-war period such as Miguel Delibes, Camilo José Cela, Carmen Martín Gaite, Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio, Ana María Matute, Carmen Laforet, etc. and great foreign authors such as George Orwell, Bohumil Hrabal or Naguib Mahfuz. Recently it has been publishing authors such as Andrés Trapiello, Antonio Soler, Pedro Zarraluki or Eduardo Lago. In Catalan, the highly illustrated "Image of Catalonia" collection, often by photographers as Francesc Català Roca, had a strong impact and collected important Catalan subjects by leading authors.

Large trade publishers generally accept manuscripts only through literary agents, while many independent and small presses accept direct submissions during reading periods. Before submitting anywhere, read the publisher's current guidelines, study recent books on its list, and never pay a reading or publishing fee to a traditional publisher.
