Saint-Bernard editions are concerned with spreading the Word to the largest number of souls, in order to contribute to the spirituality and catechism for all. This is aptly summed up by: all to Jesus by Mary. All of the works, of a spiritual order, are taken on by the printer, which guarantees the reader a complete harmony between the published contents and the teachings of the Church. Its aim is to help each person to find the path of God, through meditation, prayer, and examples seen in the life of the Virgin Mary and the Saints. It’s why the blessed Virgin Mary is evoked in the Church under the titles: solicitor, helper, carer and mediator.

Founded in 2007 to publish translations of Bosnian and Croatian literary works, Éditions M.E.O. quickly saw its activities extend beyond that. With a catalogue of nearly 250 titles, it includes works by writers from various regions of the French-speaking world, as well as translations of works from several linguistic fields. They focus on general literature, but have also developed joint collections with the Archives et Musée de la Littérature (heritage writers from Central Africa) and the Musée de la Médecine de l'ULB (works linked to the museum's exhibitions). Their editorial approach combines an interest in storytelling, a vision of the world, a humanist sensibility and a focus on writing. They make it a point of honour to discover new talent while retaining the loyalty of their authors. They have won some fifteen literary prizes, including the Prix du Parlement and, in Paris, the Prix La Renaissance française. Several of their books have been or are being translated into ten languages.

Courgette Editions grew from an unconventional seed !
Since 2021, Courgette Editions has been cultivating printed, digital, and audio works that transcend traditional literary norms. It offers intimate perspectives that become political, and introduces alternative viewpoints that challenge established conventions. The press provides space for unconventional imaginations and lived experiences, as well as themes that disrupt stereotypes and societal frameworks?through literature, poetry, art books, and educational tools.
The formats are multiple, but the commitments are constant. Each publication is conceived as an ethical editorial act: local printing, paper from sustainably managed forests, non-toxic inks. Every link in the production chain is fairly compensated. Overproduction of both works and prints is deliberately avoided with a strong emphasis on creating meaning.
In 2025, Courgette Editions signed the charter for the Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence, an initiative led by the Belgian Francophone Book Interprofessional Association (PILEn). Publishing differently also means thinking differently.
Courgette Editions welcomes co-publishing, translation, and partnership opportunities with publishing houses that share its values of sustainability, inclusivity, and engaged creativity. Its authors are eager to see their work resonate across borders?on human, political, and poetic levels.
Finally, Courgette Editions is a member of the French-speaking Belgian Publishers Association and the Association of Singular Publishers. It supports the International Alliance of Independent Publishers. It is also recognized by the Federation Wallonia-Brussels.
