Editorial Valenciana

Editora Valenciana was a Spanish publishing house based in Valencia, founded by Juan Bautista Puerto in 1932 under the name La Valenciana. During the 1940s and 1950s, under the artistic direction of José Soriano Izquierdo, it became the leading local producer of comic books and one of the most important at the national level, alongside the Barcelona-based Editorial Bruguera. It published adventure booklets such as El Guerrero del Antifaz and Roberto Alcázar y Pedrín, and magazines such as Jaimito magazine, Mariló and Pumby, all very popular in their day.

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.
