Éditions Tombouctou was co-founded in 2007 by the Malian writers Ibrahima Aya and Aida Mady Diallo. From the name of the famous city of knowledge and writing, it gives to authors and other writers the means to express their word towards the African continent and the whole world. It aims to produce and disseminate quality writing at affordable prices for the local market in particular, thus contributing to the fact that Mali and Africa are telling themselves and the world.

Éditions Tombouctou is the initiative of the “Rentrée littéraire du Mali”, the reference literary event in Mali, created in 2008, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in February 2018 and which hosts for some years between 40 and 50 foreign writers by edition.

Furthermore, since the break-up in 2012 of the security, institutional and identity crisis in Mali, Éditions Tombouctou has initiated several collective reflections that have resulted in the publication of reference books on this crisis and Mali: High voices for Timbuktu, Mali between doubts and hopes, Africa of secularisms, Contemporary Mali, Regionalization in Mali, Challenges of the reconstruction in Mali...

Founded in 2005, Vallesse has published nearly fifty books since then, 11 of which are prescribed books in the 1st cycle of the school curriculum, approved extracurricular textbooks and children’s books.
Vallesse is a member of ASSEDI (Association of Publishers of Ivory Coast) and also member of Afrilivres (Association of Francophone Publishers South of the Sahara). Fidèle Diomandé, director of Vallesse, is also the treasurer of these two associations.
Vallesse organized the writing competition called “Golden manuscript”, which provided a space for encounters with new authors. The company plans to relaunch this competition in the coming years.
In 2015, Vallesse won the Afrilivres Award for Best Publisher.

À la création de notre maison d’édition, nous recherchions une dénomination originale, quelque chose qui ait un lien avec notre culture. C’est ainsi que nous avons trouvé Vallesse qui vient du terme valêsseu, qui signifie dans la langue de l’ethnie Dan (peuple de l’ouest montagneux de la Côte d’Ivoire) : « c’est bon d’être grand, d’être ambitieux ». Parce que pour nous, « être grand, être ambitieux », c’est produire des ouvrages de qualité, mais c’est aussi, et peut-être surtout, faire du Livre, un ami pour la vie.

The Association of Independent Publishers of Ecuador is a group of small and medium-sized cultural initiatives, committed to the need to come together to generate policies intrinsic to the book sector.

The goals include:
1. Promote the development of the publishing industry at the national and Latin American levels by developing cooperation and exchanges.
2. Ensure the free circulation of books, nationally and internationally.
3. Promote the culture of books and reading as essential factors for human development, self-actualisation and citizenry.
4. Contribute to the effective democratisation of books and reading in Ecuador as a means of promoting respect for the right of every citizen to participate openly and freely in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts, to contribute to scientific progress and to enjoy its benefits.
5. Promote bibliodiversity, the expression of cultural diversity through the book, as a guarantee of the plurality of literary, artistic and scientific contents and approaches.
6. Channel initiatives of independent and/or independent publishers to preserve the public status of the book and related editorial products.
7. Encourage the recognition of editorial work and literary creativity in Ecuador and Latin America.
8. Represent the interests of partners nationally and internationally and develop initiatives that strengthen the role of the publisher as a vital cultural agent.
9. Promote, encourage, organise, sponsor and contribute to the development of national policies aimed at developing the publishing industry and promoting reading in Ecuador.
10. Promote the defence of the rights of the author, the illustrator, artist and publisher, by promoting a culture of respect for intellectual property and by encouraging the application of the mechanisms provided by law against editorial piracy and unauthorized reprography.
11. Promote and conduct activities towards the consolidation and expansion of the book markets, both in Ecuador and abroad.
12. Promote the circulation of books at the national and international levels.
13. Encourage the expansion of book circulation networks and support the development of independent bookstores.
14. Advocate for the development of a national network of public libraries.

The Association of Independent Publishers of Ecuador is therefore pleased to share the efforts made by its members towards the realisation of the objectives set out in its founding statutes, namely the development of reading in the country. We believe that this humble contribution, conceived for both the reader and the professionals of the book world, will help to foster the links between authors and their readerships.

Founded in 2003 by Samia Zennadi (archaeologist) and Karim Chikh (electrical engineer), APIC publishing has since embarked on a literary cruise aboard a paper ship blackened with words.
A cruise that did not necessarily sail on a calm sea, under a bright sun, sailing off where new horizons would on the next page and waves a parenthesis to be opened; rather on a stormy sea, struggling to balance on a semicolon – one foot anchored on the ground, as a perched dot on land –, and to navigate through an unstable equilibrium among letters, words, verbs, without jostling or belting the woes caused by the abuse of iodine. Full stop.
A cruise that can be conjugated in all climates and tenses, with a preference for the literary near future, so that nobody can forget.
“A publishing house that tombe à-pic” (“just in time”), some said. “Apic, ça pique!” (“it bites!”, said others. Also reminiscent of a beekeeper, passionate by shaping literature and harvesting an intoxicating nectar.
Between novels, poetry, short stories, essays and coffee table books, the waltz of books lulls the contrasts of a daily newspaper on the run and dreamy nights, always on the lookout for a new literary cruise, aboard a paper ship blackened with words, with one destination: safe arrival at the harbour of letters.

« Les éditions qui tombent à-pic », nous avons souvent travaillé avec des auteurs qui sont tombés à-pic ; « Apic, ça pique ! » avec des textes qui dérangent, qui suscitent des questionnements, à contre-courant ; « Apiculture, ou la passion du façonnage des belles lettres et la récolte du nectar enivrant », dans l’espoir d’apporter, dans le courant de l’évolution humaine.

Ntsame publishing was founded in 2010 by Sylvie Ntsame, writer and former president of the Union of Gabonese Writers (UDEG).
The publishing house is located in the Nzeng-Ayong district, in a complex consisting of a secretariat, a bookstore, three machine rooms, a boardroom and five offices. A priority is to make books whose copyrights are paid to published authors. Sylvie Ntsame explains that their mission is to “to produce books of all kinds, and to disseminate them on the national level and outside the country”, and adds “I wanted to cast my little stone in the building, for a stream of local productions to be published”.
She aims to make the national writers’ books more visible on the national territory in order to raise the public awareness about the literary works produced by Gabonese writers but also to inspire the pen of the latter.
Ntsame publishing aims to master the entire process of book making so that the books they publish are entirely made in Gabon. That is why this structure has a digital printing facility.

FORMAT publishing’s books must appeal to both children and adults. The condition is that everyone finds a place in this illustrated book adventure.

Created by an association of artists, Dodovole publishing has the avowed mission of defending the endangered cultures and marginalised minorities of the southwest of the Indian Ocean. In order to promote regional languages, we have from the onset published in French and Reunionese Creole, and shortly after in Malagasy and regional Malagasy. By imagining beautiful printed objects, we want to give visibility to visual artists in the area: a writer is asked to create a children’s book based on the work of a fine artist or photographer. This is the cardboard collection, which aims to bring art in the hands of the youth.
The richness of the corpus of regional folktales gave birth to the collection “Dodo bonimenteur” (“peddler”): Madagascan and French tales are bilingual and illustrated by schoolchildren as part of educational exchange programmes. A collection of French-language novels for adults completes the list under the editorial line: Madagascar seen from the inside.

Si le dodo avait eu des ailes, il n’aurait pas disparu. Dodo vole donne des ailes aux enfants : des livres pour leur permettre de grandir et de s’évader.

Proximité publishing has been founded in 2002 in Yaoundé, Cameroon, with the aim of bringing the book and publishing to local populations. Two things motivated the creation of this initiative: the difficulty for young authors to be locally published on the one hand, and the desire to promote the circulation of local and foreign publications at an affordable price on the other hand. In its early years, Proximité published many young authors, most of them working on their first manuscript, at the same time as they worked towards better visibility for foreign literatures through co-publishing projects. In 2006, Proximité joined forces with other structures by becoming a collection publishing novels and short stories under the umbrella Ifrikiya publishing. Between 2006 and 2015, the collection has then published a dozen of young authors annually. Since 2015, Proximité has regained its autonomy, and is reinventing itself as a publishing house, working in different genres: novel and short stories, essays and biographies, children’s books and comics.

For more than 20 years now, we have been publishing books in the humanities and social sciences, and lately some titles in literature that are connected to the humanities.
We are a small-sized independent publishing company, and our renown is based on the more than 220 titles we have published – some of them exemplary pieces, others among the most provocative titles in the humanities (most of them translations). Our close working relationship with professors from four of the leading Bulgarian universities ensures the high quality of our products.
We have become recognised as a “publisher with a philosophy”. Supporting a pluralist and local cultural ambiance has always been our publishing ideal. We also experiment – via joint projects with other institutions or individuals – on the borders between cultural fields (e.g. publishing and theater, publishing and digital arts).
We are also the initiator and founder of a small organization: Bulgarian Society of Publishers in Humanities (BSPH).

Read here the interview with Antoinette Koleva, published in partnership with ActuaLitté (January 2, 2017).

AGO Media is a team of young writers and illustrators brought together by Koffivi ASSEM and KanAd for the production and distribution of comics and animated films. AGO Media is composed of a publishing house, a communication agency and a production and distribution company for books and films.
Lomé-based AGO publishing wants to make up for the lack of publishing houses specialized in children’s books and comics in Africa.
Before the official foundation of the company in 2011, AGO started with the publication of fanzines: “AGO fiction” and “AGO drama”. This is how the company’s strategy was defined: to fund the publishing wing through the communication agency, to diversify the revenues by venturing into multimedia and cinema and especially to create an authentic distribution circuit.
