| Summary: | This paper discusses the partial results that arise from the analysis and revision of the catalogues of
the independent publishing houses of Bogotá (Colombia) and Córdoba (Argentina) which publications
are aimed at children and young people. This is accompanied, as a context by a problematization that
has brought with the influence of public policies on issues in reading promotion synchronized with
the flourishing of independent publishers throughout the region in the children’s and youth publishing
subsector. Methodologically, with a comparative strategy, the catalogues and the implications of
these devices were compared in a five-year observation window. We reviewed variables such as the
internal unity of the system, the conversational congruence of texts, the relevance to the context, the
recurrent genres, their commitment to the market, aesthetics and poetics, and editorial design. This was
complemented with semi-structured interviews with the editors, which allowed for a discussion of what
was observed
