TIMOR Editora
In 1999 we started our contribution to reintroduce the portuguese language in East Timor, by adopting the first textbooks specifically for this purpose. Since then, we have been publishing textbooks according to the curriculum of the Ministry of Education of East Timor.
In addition to these textbooks, in order to enrich the East Timor publishing fund, we have also published works in other fields, among which we highlight the History and Geography of the country, as well as its poetry. We are proud to have some of Timor-Leste’s most distinguished figures as our authors.
Our already long-term collaboration with the country led us to the establishment of Timor Editora, dedicated to general publishing and Timorese law.
