Since 2015, Books&Smith has worked with many of the most well-known Latin-American and Caribbean writers, especially from the Dominican Republic, to publish, translate, evaluate, or edit numerous works.  

Poet Laureates, award-winning storytellers, beginning writers,  writers of children's literature... all have come to us with the same dreams and concerns.  We are proud to have been able to create a safe, reliable, and professional space and platform, where everyone, those known and to be known, can feel confident that their book will have the same opportunities as any other book from a large traditional publisher.  

We started in New York and now are expanding latitudes by moving to Texas. We also have printing contacts in both Mexico and the Dominican Republic.

 

We trust that the changes we have been making will be of benefit and convenience to all.

WELCOME, AUTHORS

 

 

At Books&Smith, we're passionate about bringing unique voices to the forefront of literature. Since 2015, we've been dedicated to fostering a community of talented authors and providing a platform for their stories to shine.

 

We have adopted hybrid publishing as the way to success, adhering closely to the guidelines set forth by the Independent Publisher Association. This innovative approach combines the best parts of traditional and self-publishing, offering authors the support and expertise they need to bring their vision to life while retaining creative control and obtaining higher royalties.

 

With a portfolio of over 100 published works, including award-winners and bestsellers, Books&Smith has established itself as a trusted name in the industry. We take pride in our commitment to quality, diversity, and inclusion; and we're always on the lookout for fresh voices and compelling stories.

 

While we have a special focus on Hispanic and Latino authors, we welcome submissions from writers of all backgrounds whose work aligns with our core values of respect, identity, inclusion, and artistic excellence. At Books&Smith, every voice has a place; and we have a knack for spreading said voices in different languages—hence our outstanding line of translated books, both in English and Spanish.

 

Ready to share your story with the world? We accept submissions year-round and carefully evaluate each project to ensure it's the right fit for our publishing family. While our evaluation process may take some time, rest assured that every submission receives the attention it deserves.

 

So, whether you're an established author or new to the world of publishing, Books&Smith is here to support you on your journey. Submit your work to booksandsmith@hotmail.com and take the first step towards seeing your book in print.
