THE STATEMENT
and partners, we have consolidated our place in the Portuguese publishing landscape.
Chiado Books' establishment phase was driven by the pure strength of those who deeply trusted and believed in our dream.
We entered a closed, conservative market, dominated by a few, and we showed that there was another way. We proved that enforcing change among the unchangeable is possible. And, most important of all, we proved that everybody’s voice is deserving of a place in the literary world.
With a small (but mighty) team, we focused on building genuine connections with authors, maintaining an efficient publishing process, and making the quality and beauty of our books a point of utmost importance. Over time, we began to be recognised as a gateway into the publishing world.
More and more authors trusted us with their creations. They arrived with their manuscripts and their dreams to find professionalism, dedication and results.
We promoted launches across the country, secured a presence in major bookstores, and opened space for new voices in the market.
Our growth was steady. Step by step, we became a reliable and influential force.
