Zones Sensibles is a Belgian publishing house, based in Brussels and specialised in the sciences of men (and also benefiting from 15 years of experience in the publishing world).
?Sciences of men? here refers to a vast field of studies relating to the human in various guises (social, artistic, political, cultural v. natural etc.), a field which touches upon anthropology just as much as graphic novels, cultural studies as well as the history of medicine, the world of sound as well as the geographical world, urban environments as well as uninhabited ones.
With a reasonable rhythm of publications (as growing your readership needs time), and supported by a committee of international scientific sponsorship, Zones sensibles will offer works in a variety of subjects, coming from different voices (renowned university academics as well as young authors), and more often than not translated. The points of view from outside being as important, if not more so, than those coming from within.

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.

The publishing house La Lettre volée (The stolen Letter), based in Brussels, founded in the autumn of 1989 by Daniel Vander Gucht, Pierre-Yves Soucy and Louis Jacob in the background of the non-profit organisation Ante Post, pursues a publishing policy adhering to the following three points :
- The desire to offer, across a range of collections, reflections aimed at the public which look at ethical and aesthetic issues in society, concerning culture and contemporary art.
- The international option which presides over the choice of works of reflection and published creations, and which responds to the process even of thought, a product of the refusal to enclose authors in intellectual or cultural ghettos.
The admiration for the fine book which is such a pleasure to behold in the hand and spirit as well as the eyes, presenting the reader with quality texts, carefully and elegantly presented, giving as much thought to the typograhy as to the choice of paper and graphic design.

Saint-Bernard editions are concerned with spreading the Word to the largest number of souls, in order to contribute to the spirituality and catechism for all. This is aptly summed up by: all to Jesus by Mary. All of the works, of a spiritual order, are taken on by the printer, which guarantees the reader a complete harmony between the published contents and the teachings of the Church. Its aim is to help each person to find the path of God, through meditation, prayer, and examples seen in the life of the Virgin Mary and the Saints. It’s why the blessed Virgin Mary is evoked in the Church under the titles: solicitor, helper, carer and mediator.

Founded in 1949, the Midis de la poésie is an association from Brussels which has, for more than sixty years, promoted literature and poetry, from the past as well as the present. The formula is simple and original: midday every Tuesday, from October to May, a specialist lecturer or writer develops a literary question in the perspective of general culture. To shine a light on their subject, actors read the texts of the tackled authors. Certain meetings offer conferences/shows. To ensure that its heritage continues to exist by (re)discovering past and recent conferences which have left a mark in history, the Midis de la poésie are developing a collection of essays with l?Arbre à paroles.
