We believe literature should be accessible to all. That's why we not only sell physical books but also share them digitally under Creative Commons licenses. We focus on poetry, essays, and hybrid forms that push beyond traditional genre boundaries. Como un lugar books chart alternative literary pathways, connecting voices and editorial work across the Global South.
We believe literature should reach everyone, and that artists and writers deserve fair compensation for their work. These ideas aren't mutually exclusive. Our books are funded by readers, donors, and government organizations to ensure literature circulates freely while authors can continue writing and earn money from their work.
When you buy a book from Como un lugar, or when you make a donation to the collective, you're directly supporting authors and sustaining this cooperative project. If you'd like to support our editorial work, you can invite us a cafecito or donate through Paypal.
Como un lugar is a cooperative that operates horizontally and independently, and your contribution helps us maintain public access to beautiful books.
