As many publishing houses are located in the same country (or even in the same city), it is necessary to zoom in on the country or city you are interested in to see all the publishing houses.

Wildproject is an independent publishing house founded by Baptiste Lanaspeze, a pioneer in French-language ecological humanities. Dreamt of in New York in 2003, established in Paris in 2008, Wildproject is growing since 2009 in Marseille, between city and nature, between North and South.
The catalogue explores the ecological revolution of knowledge and practices, with a focus on places and stories.
In 10 years, Wildproject has become a reference in ecological humanities. Philosophy, biology, ethology, social sciences, geography, literature, urban planning, agriculture, music, contemporary art...: far from being a niche, ecology crosses all spheres of culture.
Wildproject thus invites us to go beyond the project of modern civilization – with founding works of ecological thought, with essays on political and decolonial ecology, with geographical narratives.

In 1987, there were few publishing houses in Morocco. The book market was flooded with books in French, from France, and in Arabic, from Egypt and Lebanon. It was difficult for readers to identify with them. Les Éditions du Fennec were created to fill this gap.
It is a small structure which does only publishing in Arabic and French. They release from 15 to 20 titles a year, with an average print run between 2 000 and 3 000 copies. As for the paperback edition, the average print run is between 5 000 and 10 000 copies.
In order to make reading accessible to the greatest number, and taking into account Moroccan readership’s purchasing power, les Éditions du Fennec manufactures and sells at the lowest price books of quality.

Gashingo

logoGashingo

Quartier Plateau, rue IB-28 P 515
BP 106 Niamey
Niger
Tél: +227 20 72 58 08

The word “gashingo” in Kanuri means chameleon; it was chosen to represent our ability to publish in multiple languages.
Gashingo’s activities build on the premise that the development of African countries depends on the internal and external efficiency of their education systems. This prerequisite can only be fulfilled by establishing and maintaining a literate environment in the first languages already mastered by children before they enter school and shared in their home communities, and in the widely spoken, local or foreign languages.
Gashingo’s main activities are the production and sale of books; Gashingo also graciously supports the training of authors and the organisation of meetings and exchanges between the various actors of the book ecosystem at the national and regional levels.
Over the next few years, Gashingo intends to strengthen its base through a large production of both paper and digital books and the gradual establishment of its nation-wide network of bookstores. Regionally, the company intends to diversify its partnerships to play a pioneering role in the extension of projects such as DEELMA (“Projet de Développement de l’édition et des environnements lettrés multilingues en Afrique” from Septembre 2006 to April 2007) where it was the coordinating structure. The interconnection of Gashingo’s national distribution network with those of its regional partners will enable its products to be as widely distributed as possible. All of these activities are aimed at increasing Gashingo’s production capacity to make it competitive and eligible for the textbook market.

Since 2014, En toutes lettres is specialised in the publication of essays by writers, researchers and journalists. Our books address societal issues related to Morocco, by exposing the situation on the ground, as well as making the work of researchers and academics accessible to the general, non-specialised public. They contribute to the dissemination of discussions and critical thinking. This aim is achieved through five collections: ‘Les Presses de l’Université Citoyenne’, ‘Enquêtes’, ‘Les Questions qui fâchent’, ‘Droit et Citoyenneté’, et ‘Traduction’. En toutes lettres also spearheads Openchabab, a training project for emerging journalists and civil society leaders, bound to become future authors espousing humanist creeds and investigative reporting.

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...
