IIEditorial line

What we are looking for

We are attentive to texts with a voice, a form and a sense of necessity. Our editorial line is open, but not limitless.

  • Contemporary novels
  • General literature written in French
  • Narratives, including those inspired by personal experience, when they go beyond testimony alone
  • Texts carried by a strong voice
  • Distinctive narrative forms
  • Noir novels and psychological thrillers when suspense serves a genuine literary ambition

What we do not currently publish

To give every submission a fair chance, we prefer to be clear. The following kinds of work do not currently fit our list:

  • Poetry
  • Drama
  • Children’s and young adult literature
  • Educational, practical or technical books
  • Self-help

This list may evolve with the catalogue.

After you submit

Every manuscript that follows the submission guidelines is reviewed by the house. Given the number of texts received, we cannot guarantee a personalised reply to every submission. If your work attracts our attention, we will contact you.

You may submit your manuscript to other publishers at the same time; we simply ask you to let us know if it is accepted elsewhere.
