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.

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.

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.

Paper is a material which has fascinated me since a young age, and my wish to publish is a simple wish to share my imaginary library by creating brand new associations of texts and images of the universe, which have previously never been placed together.

Like all publishers, Éditions Most wants to offer you good books and help you discover new authors.
With its cultural roots in the French-speaking world and Central Asia, its intention is to bring together French-speaking authors in its catalogue, making them accessible to those who speak the language of Molière as well as that of Pushkin. Conversely, Éditions Most wants to make Russian-speaking authors available to French-speaking readers.
So that the bridge can be crossed from one bank to the other, and in both directions.

Created in 2007 as part of the Ministry of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the Architecture Unit has developed a publishing division to report on, among other things, the vitality of architectural creation in French-speaking Belgium, the wealth of 20th-century heritage in Wallonia, the diversity of artists working hand in hand with architects, its participation every four years in the Venice International Architecture Biennale, and its involvement in the development of architecture in Belgium, the diversity of artists working hand in hand with architects, its participation every four years in the Venice International Architecture Biennale and, more recently, the activities of the Institut culturel d'architecture Wallonie-Bruxelles.
In all, the fifty or so titles published are systematically commissioned from authors, photographers and graphic designers, most of whom are active in Wallonia and Brussels, illustrating the diversity of their artistic and cultural practice.

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.

Investig?Action is a collective founded by Michel Collon in 2004. It groups together journalists, writers, video makers, translators, graphic designers and a whole series of other people who work in developing alternative news. This is because we cannot let media dominated by profits monopolise the news regarding wars, the economy and North-South relations.
Investig?Action became a proper publishing house in 2015. Since then, our activities have reached from publishing articles to publishing books, always with the same desire to probe consciences and give a voice to those who don?t have one.

Created in 2000 by Xavier Francart, Aparté is a publishing house centred on Belgian heritage in the wider sense : the natural, architectural, artistic, historic and urban heritage of the country.
The approach to these subjects purports to be clearly different, in the level of the collection as much as the form of it. The works, edited and published by specialists passionate about the subject, are aimed at the wider public. Each of the books is constructed around a particular concept, which means, for a reader open to discovery, constantly met expectations.
