Tusquets Editores was founded in 1969 by Beatriz de Moura, and was soon recognized as a top-quality publisher both for fiction and nonfiction. Today it is one of the largest independent quality publishers in Spain, and has subsidiaries in Mexico and Argentina with distribution throughout Latin America. As far as genres are concerned, fiction should be highlighted, although it also publishes biographies, essays, science, history, erotic novels and poetry. It also holds the translation rights for over fifty Spanish-language authors.
