Alaya Books is an independent publishing company based in Barcelona with an international client base. The business provides professional publishing services that bridge the gap between traditional publishing and self-publishing while allowing authors to retain full royalties and ownership. Its methodology combines editorial expertise, creative direction, personalized collaboration, and transparent pricing. The company works across memoir, biography, self-development, multilingual publishing, and children’s books.
