The Guides Badeaux started by focusing on the urbanistic history and heritage of the Belgian capital and the surrounding area. These guides explore and put forward special heritage features linked to economic, social, political and regional urbanistic history. Through a chosen pattern, used as a narrative arc, the heritage is unveiled and set in its context, constantly dedicating to expose history in a didactic and lively way and to give the keys for understanding and analysing its development.

The Employé du Moi is a Brussels-based comic book publishing house founded around 2000 by a few cartoonists. Its book production evolves around and according to desires, experiences, vibes, and encounters; and its editorial line follows what is commonly known as independent comics.

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.

Edern éditions was born out of a twofold observation, linked to developments in the publishing world: on the one hand, access to a professional publishing house is increasingly difficult; on the other, self-publishing appears to be a miracle solution, when in fact it is an illusion.
We are convinced that there is another way, one that radically breaks with a system that reinforces the monopoly of Parisian publishing and suffocates other publishers. It's a way that revitalises the book industry, which has been woven to highlight the talents of authors, publishers and booksellers, with the aim of offering the widest possible audience an international and diversified range of books.

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.
