Publishing Series

An editorial series is a set of books published by the same publisher that share a common theme, genre, author, or similar editorial style. Series can be thematic, such as those dedicated to detective literature, poetry, or essays, or focused on specific authors or culturally significant works.

The reasons for a publisher to create an editorial series are many:

• Organization and identity: Series help give the publisher a distinctive identity, aiding brand recognition. Each series may reflect a specific audience or interest.
• Niche audience development: Creating a thematic series allows reaching readers passionate about a specific topic or genre, fostering loyalty.
• Consistency and quality: A series maintains a certain consistency in quality and content. The publisher can set standards for works included.
• Promotion and marketing: Series, being collections of titles with common features, can be promoted more effectively. A reader who appreciates one book from a series may explore others.
• Visibility and prestige: Some series are created to gather works of high literary or cultural value, enhancing prestige for both authors and the publisher.

In summary, editorial series are tools to organize and promote books, build a publishing identity, and foster reader loyalty.
