Modus Operandi is a young and independent publishing house borned in 2012 as a result of the passion and love that the founders felt for books and culture. We have been launching ourselves into the publishing market for seven years, and right now we are a brand and quality label.
We were born with the premise of making ourselves a niche in the spanish literary panorama and become an editorial in which to accommodate both the essential works of classical authors, like those of the most contemporary and innovative content.
Deeply committed to culture and very proud to have published titles related to art, cinema, gastronomy, culture, and popular customs, we have decided to take a turn and bet on other subjects and contents that are also inserted in nonfiction, such as essay, social sciences, or the humanities; this does not detract from the fact that we publish titles that are not inserted in any of these genres. All this without losing our enthusiasm for the work well done and bearing in mind that our main objective is to continue betting on the diffusion of culture.
