Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe Provincial Council of Girona, through its Cultural Communication Service, is procuring a professional direction service for its corporate publishing collection 'Josep Pla', dedicated to literary and journalistic works related to the Girona region. The collection aims to recover out-of-print or hard-to-find works by Girona authors and publish literary and essay materials that the commercial market would not normally serve. The contract also includes coordinating the 'Llamps i tintes!' graphic novel collection, which publishes winners of an annual competition. A specialized literature professional is required.
