Flamboyant was founded in July 1989 by several executives at the Beninese Ministry of Education together with a few French publishers. In a time of increased economic liberalism, Flamboyant has been a pioneer in Beninese publishing and one of the best publishers in the subregion with an average eight works a year. Flamboyant has invested all fields of literature and science, where it has a proven know-how and experience. In order to face the challenges of globalization and to promote bibliodiversity, Flamboyant has taken many pan-African initiatives, such as bringing publishers into associations like Assedib, Afrilivres…
A publisher, consultant and distributor of works of the mind, Flamboyant is now led by Dorothée Gérard Houessou. It is currently enjoying new-found energy and is sure to have a promising, flamboyant future.

The éditions d’en bas (“from below”) published its first books in 1976, organised itself as an association in 1976 and then as a cooperative in 1991. In 28 years, more than 300 books have been published. The publishing house is founded on two pillars: a militant base of people who have adhered to the editorial policy, and the network of bookshops in the country. The output and translation of books is partly funded by state and private institutions/foundations, as well as by partnerships (co-publishing) with various non-governmental organisations and social movements. The books published by the editions d’en bas witness the hidden side of Switzerland, especially life “down below” in the working-class community. They can also serve in some cases as tools in the fight for rights; they can precede and accompany social struggles, or tell their story.
Essays and historical, sociological and political documents, testimonies, life stories, literary texts, translations – the books published by the éditions d’en bas explore the social field from the margins of history, politics, and society; they allow for the emergence of singular voices, of forgotten destinies and themes.

Par la littérature ou le récit de vie, l’essai critique ou le livre d’histoire, les éditions d’en bas rendent compte de « la face cachée » de la Suisse (et du monde). Des voix dissidentes, attachées aux passages de la mémoire. Les éditions d’en bas sont attachées à valoriser les langues, les populations et les cultures minoritaires révélatrices des structures d’oppression et de répression.

Founded in 2003 by Isabelle Pivert, éditions du Sextant publishes works in the humanities field – history, geography, history of thought and political science – with the aim of enlightening readers to help them gain insight into the world, position themselves and pursue their own path.
Our collections follow their own paths (and overlap?) joyfully: “Décodeur” (economic, social, political criticism: essays), “Géographique” (interactions between physical space and humankind and/or society: essays, biographies, travel accounts), “Résistance” (accounts, especially of WW2), “Récits” (accounts, especially on social issues). In the “Hors Piste” (“Off the Beaten Track”) collection, Sextant experiments and publishes their favourites in a “ragbag” collection.

Based in Paris, we are also developing a branch in Brittany (2008), in a place that’s propitious to creative processes and thinking, Le Pouldu.

Le sextant est un instrument de positionnement utilisé dans la navigation : grâce à cet objet, on peut faire le point avec le soleil et les étoiles, c’est-à-dire connaître sa position exacte sur la planète, et ainsi choisir son cap, son chemin propre sur un espace, la mer, espace de liberté. Je fais ici une analogie avec le livre, instrument de savoir, de connaissance, de transmission, sur soi et les autres, sur le monde, qui permet de choisir ensuite son propre chemin. Le livre-objet qu’on a dans les mains, qu’on touche et qu’on voit qu’on sent (le papier), et dont il faut apprendre à se servir, c’est-à-dire ici savoir lire et écrire, pour l’apprécier. Le livre-passeur d’histoires.

Since 1976, éditions du remue-ménage has been pursuing the same aim: stimulating, supporting, and furthering feminist thought. Alongside activists, researchers, writers, and artists, they have set up a propitious arena for the circulation of thinking outside of the predominant mindset. An ever-moving platform, open to various feminist analyses of theory and politics, considering the preoccupations of women from all horizons. The catalogue reflects these editorial choices, featuring works in a variety of fields such as history, sociology, political science, education, literature, culture, and gay and lesbian studies to name but a few. The sheer diversity of topics reflects the myriad questions affecting women and more broadly, society as a whole. éditions du remue-ménage is a vociferously free and feistily militant business.
The éditions du remue-ménage is fiercely committed to producing literature brimming with ideas, providing an arena for debate, and, like the women’s movement, working to build a fairer world.

remue-ménage est une référence directe au soulèvement des ménagères tout en étant une allusion au brassage des idées reçues…

Founded in April 2000 in Algiers, Barzakh originally focused solely on literature. Our creed: give young Arabic- and French-language writers a platform for expression.
Encountering success and setbacks over the years, we have expanded our catalogue to historical essays, studies and literary biographies, as well as high-art books. Alongside this work, we have developed partnerships with some French publishers, including éditions de l’Aube, Le Bec en l’Air, and Actes Sud. Thus, Arezki Mellal’s novel Maintenant, ils peuvent venir (Barzakh, 2000) was published by Actes Sud in 2002, and Cinq fragments du désert by Rachid Boudjedra (Barzakh, 2001), by éditions de l’Aube in 2002. The latter has furthermore been translated into Italian and Spanish.

Éditions Livre Sud (Édilis) was created at the initiative of African promoters in order to participate in the cultural development of Africa. Its mission is, therefore, the publication, promotion, and distribution of books. Edilis covers all areas of publishing: general literature (novels, short stories, and poetry), preschool, academic, extracurricular, literacy, and post-literacy. Édilis also has a bookstore, the Librairie du Commerce, located on the Plateau, rue du Commerce.
However, it has made literacy, the only key to development, its main project.
In fact, Édilis, concerned with the development of the country, has for several years undertaken actions with regard to teaching national languages. In collaboration with the ILA (the Institute of Applied Linguistics at the University of Abidjan-Cocody) and SIL (Société Internationale de Linguistique), Édilis has produced a series of syllabaries in national languages (Baoulé, Bete, Senufo, Diula, Kulango, Akyé, Abidji, Dan, Wobe, Mahou, Lobiri, etc.). These syllabaries make a significant contribution to the promotion of national languages.

« Édilis » fait allusion à ce que l’Afrique, de par sa richesse culturelle et sa diversité linguistique, peut apporter de spécifique au livre.

Ever preoccupied with ecological, social and political issues as well as alternatives put forward by social movements, the Écosociété publishing house is contributing to the reinvention of possibilities. For over 15 years, the firm has been producing and distributing critical works with the aim of forging an eco-society: a society with a more humane approach and that is more respectful of the biosphere, a free and open society in which the relations between individuals would be more egalitarian. The works published by the firm aim to spark public debate and to contribute to it, with a view to fostering more active citizen participation in the political sphere. The publishing house represents a zone of free expression in which activists, thinkers and citizens join forces for a wonderful experience in solidarity. The Écosociété publishing house: a wellspring gushing with ideas to approach the world from a fresh angle and rebuild it differently.

Lire, réfléchir et agir sont les trois verbes qui animent la maison d’édition depuis ses débuts. Son nom fait écho à l’Institut pour une écosociété, qui l’a fondée, et dont le mandat est de « susciter un vaste débat public sur les grands problèmes de l’heure et sur les conditions d’émergence d’un nouvel humanisme et d’une société plus conviviale, plus démocratique et plus respectueuse des ressources de la biosphère, le but étant de favoriser l’avènement d’un nouveau modèle économique, politique, social et culturel ».

FORMAT is an independent publishing house that focuses on education, illustration quality and creation. Books are understood as beautiful objects and as reading spaces, as they position the reader in the story, sharpening their eyes, awakening their curiosity and graphic sensitivity.
Their ambition: expressing emotions, circulating ideas of diversity and difference, tolerance, going against the grain to break with prejudices and stereotypes, working particularly on typography, paper and format.
FORMAT publishing’s books must appeal to both children and adults. The condition is that everyone finds a place in this illustrated book adventure. FORMAT publishing mixes genres and authors: well-known contemporary authors, sometimes even internationally renowned, and more classical, but always with a view of reinterpreting!
Their first title in French (Un prince à la pâtisserie by Joanna Concejo and Marek Bienczyk) was released in September 2015. Their list already includes some 50 titles in Polish, of which 40% are adapted from French books. FORMATs’ books have been awarded many times by IBBY International Board of Books for Young People, the Committee on the Rights of the Child, and the Polish Association of publishers, to name but a few...

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.

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).

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.

Between the Lines (BTL) was established in 1977 and is a fiercely independent small press. At BTL we remain committed to our original mandate: to publish Canadian-authored non-fiction on a broad range of social and cultural issues from a progressive perspective. Our corresponding mission is to provide high quality resources that promote equitable social change. We specialize in informative, non-fiction books on politics and public policy, social issues, Canadian and world history, international development, Indigenous issues, gender/sexuality, critical race issues, labour and work, environment, and media. BTL books amplify the voices that often go unheard in the mainstream and challenge our readers to think differently. Our Editorial Committee makes publishing decisions democratically by consensus.

Between the Lines asks people to read critically, to think about the world differently, and not to get stuck in factional party lines.
