Does anyone know of a publisher who specializes in translations of
bestseller books (particularly into Spanish)? We are trying to increase our
collection of Spanish books, but are finding only books by Hispanic/Latino
authors such as Isabel Allende, etc.

Thanks for any help you can give!

This made me curious so I looked in our catalog-- we have a LOT of Spanish translations of best sellers.
The Spanish versions of Danielle Steel are mainly from these publishers:
Plaza & Janes
Grijalbo
Martinez Roca
The Spanish versions of John Grisham are from Ediciones B or Planeta.
Dean Koontz in Spanish has about 5 different publishers.
So it does not look to me like one publisher predominates in these translations.
Hope that helps,
Sarah

One thing you might try to do is contact some of the major publishers who
have authors who are translated into Spanish on a regular basis. I'm
thinking particularly of Harlequin, with its wordwide publishing and
distribution system. You can email them via their website, <romance.net>
You might also contact your local chapter of Romance Writers of America. The
chapter might include published authors who regularly get Spanish
translations of their books, and might like to donate them to a library.

There's also at least one new publishing line specializing in hispanic
romance - Encanto.

Hope this helps....

The major jobbers are now paying more attention to this area of publishing.
Ingram, for instance, now puts out a yearly catalog of titles in Spanish.
