Smart Keys x La Casita Latina:
Unlocking inclusive stories

 

La Casita Latina Book Studio has one goal—shine a light on the voices and visions of Latin America. Their shelves jump from children’s picture books to hard‑hitting nonfiction, all stitched with the same vibrant cultural thread. It is a catalog built to “celebrate the beauty, resilience, and creativity of Latin America” and to lift up the “untold stories” that rarely reach mainstream presses. lacasitalatina.com

 

Smart Keys slides right into that mission. The Mac toolkit gives writers instant shortcuts for:

 

  • Lightning‑fast translation – flip drafts between Spanish, English, Portuguese, and more without breaking flow.
  • Bias and inclusivity nudges – spot gendered or ableist terms before they hit print.
  • Tone tuner – tighten or soften copy to match each book’s audience.
  • Accessibility helpers – one‑click text‑to‑speech and alt‑text prompts so every reader is invited in.

 

By rolling Smart Keys out across the studio, editors can spend less time wrestling with mechanics and more time polishing the heart of each tale. The result: books that read smoothly in any language and welcome every kid (and grown‑up) to the party.

 

“Smart Keys doesn’t change our voice,” says the La Casita Latina team. “It turns up the volume so more readers hear it.”

 

New titles powered by the partnership start landing this fall. Watch for the Smart Keys badge on the copyright page—your signal that the words inside have been tuned for clarity, culture, and everyone at the table.
