7Letras started its activities in a small bookstore in the neighborhood Jardim Botânico in Rio de Janeiro . As a pioneer of the print-on-demand system, he published several short volumes of poetry in the mid-1990s and, with the recognition of readers and critics, expanded his catalog to include scientific publications in various areas - in particular philosophy , history and social sciences - and with the creation of literary ones Magazines Inimigo Rumor (devoted to poetry) and Ficções (magazine of prose) which helped unveil several important names in contemporary Brazilian literature.
Later, after a few hundred titles, a few thousand readers and several literary awards (including the Prêmio Jabuti ), 7Letras opened a new bookstore in 2012, this time in Ipanema - and continued with its important work of revealing new authors, always looking for creative solutions to the Brazilian and international literary arts.
