Five formats, five collections:
- Carambole : literature in small formats (prose, poetry…).

CIPA was founded in 1965. The main aim of CIPA was to study a language as an oral phenomenon, in order to promote teaching languages and multilingualism.
It’s especially since the 70s that CIPA’s area of activities has widened and diversified. Look, for example, at the organisation of several tens of intensive internships (one for several weeks), in Mons or abroad. These concern the teaching of languages, linguistic organisation, long-distance training, peace-keeping education, linguistic preparation for the international field, the welcoming and guidance of African and Asian researchers as well as the elaboration of teaching tools.

Born along with the new century, in 2001, and based in Mont-Saint-Guibert in the heart of Walloon Brabant, a new province, Le Coudrier is a breath of fresh air for poets. The woods in which dowsers use their rods is from where their name is derived, and is their emblem.
An artisan publishing house favouring literature which is principally poetic, Le Coudrier publishes, at the cost of the publisher, an average of 10 poetry collections per year.
They are made up of 3 collections : Coudrier (paper-backed books in A5 format, generally illustrated on skecth paper), Sortilèges (bibliophile's collection including deluxe editions and unique books as well as sewn collections in the Italian format), Coudraie (various texts which aren't specifically poetic).
Le Coudrier favours personal writing influenced by imagination, sensibility, musicality, and is the opposite of poetic intellectualisation or research sterile of formalism.

Maedia sprl embodies a pubishing activity dedicated primarily to the different kinds of urban arts. Since 2012, Maedia's goal is to share with the public the approach and motivation of artists from alternative or underground disciplines that are still too often misunderstood, such as graffiti, skateboard, hip-hop and electro. Nocturnal performances, perceptible nuisances, hijacked locations, proximity to drugs and alcohol are all factors that prevent a fair mutual understanding between urban artists and those who live and manage the city. Through a game of interviews, essays and graphic or sound illustrations, Maedia seeks to contribute to the construction of a necessary and urgent citizen dialogue, while giving the opportunity to artists deemed not very prolix to speak. and to share their passions and their emotions.

With a solid experience spanning over decades, Hemma has accompanied several generations of children, who have become parents in turn, in their discovery of learning, games, colouring, subjects, their first creative activities and their first reading. The world of Hemma is a world of colour, freedom, where little imaginary characters come to life and find well-known heroes; a universe where trends, entertainment and current cinema fills the eyes of children between 2 and 8 years old.
Camille, Barbie, Heidi and all of the Disney heroes all help to create a production of more than 300 new publications per year; a collection of richly illustrated short stories in activity books, colouring books and story books… there is an infinite path of exploration and discovery.
Available in numerous countries, our creations create a world for all children that they would like to know, learn about, laugh in and love.

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.

L'Âne qui butine is a cross-border (France-Belgium) micro-publishing house founded in 1999, with beautiful, imaginative origins. The publishing house creates works which can deviate from the traditional form of books: a ball of paper, a suspended book…
At the cost of the publisher, L'Âne qui butine has published, to this day, almost 100 authors (from France, Belgian Wallonie and Flanders, Quebec, Switzerland…). All of our authors have a poetic attitude and an air of absolute bliss faced with L'Âne (!) … the perfection of the swarm?
The world of L'Âne is also, and especially, the weaving together of meetings which articulate the intermingling between text and image, object and book, line and page.
Sometimes, L'Âne reveals itself to the world through the means of fleeting, poetic actions: in trees, near a spring, the author of multidimensional exhibitions, themed meals, shocking readings (or even explosive…)

Since 2012, the publishing house Éléments de langage have woven a pathway by merging together literary creation, innovative composition and research into language. Putting language in reflection could be its motto, because it fears neither formalities nor jokes. ‘Éléments de langage pour mettre le feu à la langue de bois’ (Elements of language to set fire to meaningless language) is its true name, but as certain members of its team found it a little long, it was shortened, not without gaining in ambiguity. Essentially, Éléments de langage cannot be taken literally: it breaks open discourse, like shellfish, with its fingers. It focuses all of its attention on singular words.
