A publishing house for French-speaking Belgian theatre created in 2020.
Red books, special objects to cherish. The Belgian theatrical creation is so overflooded by extraordinary talents that it must be vehiculated by a medium complementary to the stage. To keep near you, in your bag, or in your library the book of the show you have just seen is a way to extend your memory and to keep the show alive. Stage or office writing, our only common thread is the awakening of humanity, the growth of beings, the sharing, the debates.
The pricing policy we apply is a new experience. Every A5 format book costs 10 euros.
We want the cultural act of theatre to be human and committed, didactic and brave, not for the faint of heart.

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.

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.

Diagonale is an independent Belgian publishing house. Founded in 2014 by Ann-Gaëlle Dumont and Pascaline David, it launches new authors and specialises in publishing first novels of all genres.
Aware of the difficulties authors face when trying to break into the publishing world, it offers to return rejected manuscripts in the format of synopses, allowing authors to be guided and encouraged in their writing. Subsequently, they form a trusting relationship with the author, useful for developing a literary career in fictional texts.
It benefits links in the book chain by placing its application forms for manuscripts in its books. It therefore encourages the discovery and sale of first novels in book shops.
