Overview

Editora Insular is a Brazilian independent book publisher based in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. It publishes and sells print books and e-books, with a catalogue weighted toward the humanities and social sciences: anthropology, sociology, political science, history, biography, linguistics, journalism and communication, cinema, administration, agronomy and information science. The house also maintains several named series, including Coleção Brasilidade, Coleção Debate Social, Coleção Jornalismo Audiovisual, Coleção Jornalismo e Acontecimento, Coleção Linguística, Coleção Pátria Grande, Coleção Pensadores da Pátria Grande and Coleção Ponto Final. Insular sells directly to readers through its own online store, where titles are listed with prices in Brazilian reais and can be added to a shopping cart, and it also offers a selection of free e-books. Its editorial line mixes scholarly monographs and essay collections with works on Brazilian political and cultural history. A representative recent launch is "Getúlio escreve a Lourival: Os bilhetes à Casa Civil da Presidência da República (1951 e 1954)", a documentary volume built around notes written by Getúlio Vargas to the head of the Civil Cabinet, Lourival Fontes. The publisher's slogan, "MAIS LIVROS, MAIS LIVRES" ("more books, more free"), signals a positioning around access to books and independent publishing. Contact details published on its site include a telephone number in the 48 area code (Santa Catarina) and the address editora@insular.com.br, and it maintains a presence on Facebook and Instagram. Insular operates as a private, independent publisher rather than as part of a large media group.
