Traverse asbl (a non-profit organisation, formerly known as the Théâtre Traverse founded in 1993) has widened its activities in literary publishing. We regularly plan training, writing workshops, show productions, video creations… Literary publishing was proving necessary to tie together all these areas. We publish around ten titles per year. Five formats, five collections:
- Carambole : literature in small formats (prose, poetry…).
- Promenades : small format, walker’s literature in a place, city.
- Mémoires d'’aujourd’hui : biographical accounts, studies
- Lentement : large formats (novels, short stories, accounts).

For more than half a century, Dupuis has written a big page in the history book of the comic strip. Beside its French-Belgian anchor and the big series which have made its name, the driving force of the business rests on its capacity to push itself forward and know how to regularly reinvent its skills : the launching of hardback albums, the development of derived rights, the integration of animation studios as well as a strong culture of marketing and commerce which have marked the story of the sector.

Education as a basis to become a strong adult. To grow up into a knowing, feeling, value-driven adult. To contribute to positive changes in society. At Érasme, this is the way we view the importance of education, learning, gaining knowledge. And the role in society we want to play as a publisher. Therefore, it is of major importance that learning and gaining knowledge always happens based on a high quality. Érasme guarantees this with its educational products.
But learning and gaining knowledge should also be fun. That is why we would like to contribute to a world in which everything is fun and instructive. And everything instructive is also fun. In every stage of life. Because when educational things are fun and fun things educational, you want to learn at any time and anywhere.

Le Cormier Editions was founded in Brussels in 1949 by Fernand Verhesen (1913-2009). Poet, essayist and translator, Verhesen was also a great discoverer who significantly contributed to making the French-speaking public aware of Spanish and Latin-American poetry.
Also strongly interested in typography, he created and printed it himself on a little printing press – the first Cormier books – and showed, during his life, an equal interest in both the choice of texts, and their physical presentation.
This is a philosophy Le Cormier continues to follow today by only publishing four titles per year, edited and published by devoting the greatest care to the production of the actual book. The catalogue of the house distinguishes itself by a large variety of voices and the refusal of orthodoxy ; loyalty to poets of long-standing next to the spirit of discovery. The reader will find numerous Belgian and French authors, as well as important collections of Latin-American poetry.

Le Chat polaire, fondé en 2019, est une maison dédiée à la jeune poésie contemporaine francophone, mais aussi à l'édition de textes plus inclassables.
Chaque livre associe à l'auteur un artiste visuel, illustrateur, photographe ou bédéiste.
La maison souhaite également établir des liens avec d'autres formes artistiques, telles que la musique ou la chanson, lors de diverses manifestations.
L'expression "chat polaire" est née de l'invention d'un jeune garçon voulant nommer un simple chat blanc. C'est ainsi que naît parfois la poésie et c'est cette fraîcheur que souhaite conserver l'éditrice.

Le Taillis Pré Editions, founded in 1984 by the poet Yves Namur, immediately revealed an editorial focus on authors from across the entire world. Due to this focus, you can find poets such as Roberto Juarroz, Antonio Ramos Rosa, Salah Stétié, Israël Eliraz, Nuno Judice and E. E. Cummings, to name but a few. Around a dozen titles appear in this way every year, among which are also some of the best poets of Belgium: Gaspard Hons, Jacques Izoard, Fernand Verhesen, Michel Lambiotte, André Miguel, Eric Brogniet, Liliane Wouters, Philippe Jones, etc. The ‘Ha’ collection presents a panorama of Belgian poetry, whose works are significant but little known or even undiscovered. In this collection, you will find the names of Françoise Delcarte, Ernest Delève, Frans Moreau, Pierre Della Faille, Jean Dypréau and Robert Guiette. This collection generally publishes the complete works of the poet in question. Le Taillis Pré aims to give voice to the words of the poet Yves Bonnefoy: ‘La poésie moderne est loin de ses demeures possibles.’ That is our reason of being.

The publishing house La Lettre volée (The stolen Letter), based in Brussels, founded in the autumn of 1989 by Daniel Vander Gucht, Pierre-Yves Soucy and Louis Jacob in the background of the non-profit organisation Ante Post, pursues a publishing policy adhering to the following three points :
- The desire to offer, across a range of collections, reflections aimed at the public which look at ethical and aesthetic issues in society, concerning culture and contemporary art.
- The international option which presides over the choice of works of reflection and published creations, and which responds to the process even of thought, a product of the refusal to enclose authors in intellectual or cultural ghettos.
