InterMedia Publishing, LLC was founded to publish books that address the aspirations and educational needs of the 28 million Spanish-speaking Latinos living in the United States.

While the number of Latino immigrants increases daily, most of the Spanish-language non-fiction books available in the United States are translations of English-language books or imports from Latin America. Neither addresses the challenges and opportunities that are unique to Spanish-speaking immigrants in the U.S.

InterMedia's mission is to fulfill the unmet needs of this population as both a publishing and distribution company. InterMedia's first imprint, Libros Simples Para Su Éxito™ ( Simple Books for Your Success™) is a series of guides to help Latinos adapt in what remains an intimidating, and sometimes hostile, English-speaking culture.

Our goal is to help empower Latinos: To help them become citizens. To get a better education. To get a better job and earn higher wages. To buy a home. To start a business. Above all, to retain the pride of their Latino heritage even as they join generations of immigrants before them in realizing the American Dream.
