MARIN COLORADO, Paula Andrea. ARTURO ZAPATA’S PUBLISHING COMPANIES (1926-1954). Linguist.lit. [online]. 2017, n.71, pp.131-151. ISSN 0120-5587.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n71a07.

Arturo Zapata was an editor from Manizales who managed several companies: a newspaper, a magazine and two publishing houses of books, between 1920 and 1960. This article focuses mainly on the work of this editor in his Casa Editorial y Talleres Gráficos Arturo Zapata; through it, Zapata personified the figure of the modern editor. Combining intellectual, economic and technical processes, Zapata innovated -perhaps like no other editor on your time- in the consolidation of channels for the distribution and dissemination of Colombian book, and to conquer new readers.

Keywords : Arturo Zapata; history of publishing in Colombia; reading history in Colombia; editor; print culture..
