Prisme Éditions, founded in 1995 by Liliane Knopes and the architect Jöel Claisse, presents unique and timeless collections or works. All of them are the result of an encounter with one or more artists in search of excellence, humanity and harmony.
Curiosity, but also emotion, this is what we wish to bring to the hollow of these works that we want to be beautiful. The idea of a beautiful book takes on its full meaning here. Thoughtful cover, lenticular or solid cardboard, interesting touch of the paper, rich content, precise text, graphics and colors in echo, perfect finishing, everything is there to enter a world that challenges, and to come back to it, again and again.
Books to put on a table, to leaf through page by page, a thousand and one times.

Les livres Wapica constituent de véritables cartes de visite et de promotion de notre région.

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.

Crossing borders, playing away from ethnocentrism, Genèse Édition is a Franco-Belgian publishing house, created in April 2009.
Its publishing policy consists of:
- Novels whose authors belong to several worlds at once. Their imagination, free from parochial codes, is enriched by a variety of rich and modern experiences, as shown in the wonderful novel "La tentation du pont" (The Bridge Temptation) by Véronique.
- Stories with content which appeals to a wide audience, such as the marvel story by Johan Frédérik Hel Guedj, "Chercheurs d'éternité" (Seekers of Eternity), which tells the story of the construction of the first polar station in Antarctica with zero emissions (a story of technical prowess and breathtaking epic human feat).
- Essays which address current issues without technical jargon such as "Secret Finance" by Paul Washer, an essay in which the author is regarding the impunity enjoyed by global financial speculation.

Founded in 1984 by the Belgian dancer and choreographer Patricia Kuypers, Contredanse has aimed, from its beginning, to support creations of choreography. It wants to offer tools and resources to choreographers and dancers, to allow them to link their work in the studio to an analysis of thoughts regarding movement, the body, the composition, history and their discipline.
Its activities are principally orientated towards information and documentation, in publishing as well as training. Contresdanse is also developing partners by associating itself with projects such as round tables, conferences, workshops of reflection relating to dance…
Its publishing activity is double: on one half, the annual production of a publication (a book, CD or DVD) on a theme linked to dance or the work of an artist; on the other half a quarterly journal of news, specifically news regarding dance, distributed freely.

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.

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.
