Introduction

In a publishing industry increasingly saturated with generic fiction, fantasy, and self-publishing, there are real stories that need to be told. Stories that happen on the streets, in an ambulance at dawn, in a riot control operation, or during a helicopter rescue. At Varietex Editorial, we've decided to give a voice to those who don't normally write... but have a lot to say.

Today, with more than 30 published books and a community of more than 18,000 active readers, Varietex is the leading publisher in Spain specializing in real-life accounts from law enforcement, emergency services, and healthcare. This article explains how we got here.

A publishing house with a clear mission: to tell what others don't dare

From the very first book, Varietex focused on what others avoided: real, raw, honest, and unfiltered experiences . We moved away from idealized fiction to focus on the human, the operational, and what happens on the ground.

We publish stories from police officers, civil guards, SAMUR technicians, ICU staff, GAR soldiers, 061 medical personnel... people who have experienced extreme situations firsthand and decided to share their stories.

What makes us different

1. We publish every week.
   Instead of releasing 1 or 2 books a year, we've built a powerful and ever-growing catalog.

2. We focus on a real niche.
   We don't over-diversify. We put everything we have into what we believe in: real memories and testimonies of service.

3. We have a community, not just customers.
   With more than 18,000 active followers, our social media platforms are a meeting place for authors and readers, candidates and veterans, active professionals and people with stories to discover.

4. We offer anonymity, respect and narrative freedom.
   Many of our authors publish under pseudonyms, without compromising their position or identity, but still sharing the truth.

What does it mean to be the No. 1 publisher in this niche?

It's not a question of mass sales or literary prizes. It's a question of coherence, consistency, and connection to reality.

• We are the only publishing house in Spain with a broad and specific catalog in this field.

• We've created a real publishing channel for people who previously could only share their experiences in hushed voices.

• Authors, academies, unions, and trainers seek us out because they know we care about what we do.

What's next: expansion, more stories, more truth

The future is clear: we want to continue growing, reach more countries (like the US and Mexico), and continue to be a bridge between those who lived and those who want to understand. We will continue to share what others don't dare .
