Flexible Solutions for Your Spanish Catalog.
Whether you need a dedicated team that integrates seamlessly into your internal workflow or a fully turnkey solution that takes an entire project off your plate, HSL delivers retail-ready excellence.
1. Turnkey Production
(The “Hands-Off” Model)
Best for: Publishers looking to scale without increasing overhead.
Send us your English InDesign package, and we handle the rest. We manage the entire production lifecycle—translation, editing, proofreading, and layout—and return a finished, print-ready Spanish edition. No supervision required.
2. Strategic Partnership
(The “Collaborative” Model)
Best for: Editorial teams that want to maintain close creative oversight.
We operate as an extension of your in-house team. We collaborate on style guides, unify terminology, and adapt to your specific production workflows, ensuring each title aligns seamlessly with your imprint’s editorial standards.
