    New Releases and Reissues from Lóguez Ediciones. The rapid pace at which new titles lose visibility has a significant negative impact on publishers committed to building enduring backlists. In this context, high-quality books and carefully curated selections provide the essential counterbalance needed to keep a catalogue vibrant and relevant. Publishing new titles each year while ensuring they remain valuable and in print over time is one of our greatest challenges—and commitments—as a publishing house.

    The Use of AI in Publishing Management and Distribution

    2026-09-30 10:30 2026-09-30 10:55 Europe/Madrid The Use of AI in Publishing Management and Distribution

    The book industry faces a paradox: more books are being published than ever, yet it has never been harder for each title to find its place. Overproduction, returns, and commercial know-how that often exists only in each sales professional’s head. Using real-life cases from production, we will show how Bookseer’s (Kelmia) AI addresses these challenges: a decision-making layer on top of the ERP, with human validation at every step. No hype: technology that already works, developed by a team with decades of experience in the book industry.

    Where does a novel come from? How do our memories, childhood recollections, the places we inhabit, and the stories we hear find their way into fiction? Colombian-Peruvian writer Mary Luz Henao Navarro talks with Marco García Falcón, winner of Peru’s National Literature Prize, about the craft of transforming memory into fiction. Drawing on Alba Luz y la sombra del Tatamá and Ikumi, 1999, they will discuss territory, characters, female voices, and some of the decisions that take place behind the writing of a novel.
