Le groupe

Publishing begins with passing something on. Choosing a text, supporting it, getting it read: the job consists of putting knowledge, stories and experience into circulation, and connecting those who write with those who read.

The model and the technology serve two purposes: more authors published, better defended, books that find their readers, and innovations that move publishing and bookselling forward. The companies we support are not tools serving the list: their success is a goal in itself.

The group grew out of one observation: the means that let a book exist fully, production, bookshops, media, rights, are scattered across players who never talk to each other. We brought them under one roof and put them at the service of every title.

Every project starts as a startup, with its own team, targets and business model, then joins the group network to gain immediate access to a catalogue, bookshops and distribution channels. That is how an idea becomes a book, a series, a store or an animated show without starting from scratch at every stage.

Innovation runs through all four divisions, technological as much as conceptual: in-house management tools, connected bookshops, augmented reality, new reading and subscription formats, editorial forms that did not exist before us. One conviction guides us: never underestimate the power of books.
