Record Publishing House

Grupo Editorial Record is a Brazilian publishing group, one of the largest in Latin America. It was founded in 1943 by Alfredo Machado and Décio de Abreu as Distribuidora Record de Serviços de Imprensa, a comic strip and feature syndicate. The group publishes around eight thousand book titles of fiction and non-fiction by authors such as Graciliano Ramos, Sidney Sheldon, Gabriel García Márquez, Isabel Allende, Albert Camus and Colleen Hoover, and owns 13 labels; the main one, Editora Record, was established in the 1950 decade. Several of those labels were independent publishing houses purchased by Record, such as Editora Civilização Brasileira, founded by Ênio Silveira in 1932 and José Olympio Editora, founded in 1931.

Comics and manga publishers typically acquire through creator pitches, portfolio reviews at conventions, contests and agents. A pitch package normally includes a series synopsis, character designs and several finished sample pages. Many publishers post open-submission windows; outside them, unsolicited material may be discarded.
