Angosta Editores is an independent publisher based in Colombia, founded in 2016 by Colombian writer Héctor Abad Faciolince. It focuses on emerging writers.[1][2][3]
According to the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Literature, Angosta Editores is among the independent publishers born in the 21st century that have "reinvigorated publishing" in Colombia by promoting new voices in literature.[4]
Initially, the publisher operated through a single collection dedicated to works by new authors. Over time, it expanded its catalogue through several specific collections:
- Ébano, focused on journalism and chronicles.
- Delta, dedicated to classics and translations.
- Manila, oriented to literary essays.
- Ámbar, focused on poetry.
- Ópera prima, devoted to debut works of emerging authors.
