Éditions de la Pastèque   A07

La Pastèque was founded in July 1998 and its first publication, Spoutnik 1, was available in December of the same year. Established by Frédéric Gauthier and Martin Brault, the publishing house has, to date, released over 380 titles.
The idea of founding a publishing house came to us while attending a panel discussion on Quebec comics at the Montreal Book Fair in November 1997. That day, we were subjected to the perennially pessimistic assessment of Quebec comics. We felt compelled to shake things up and inject some optimism into the prevailing gloom. We wanted to bet that Quebecers, like Francophones in Europe, would appreciate more personal, more intimate comics akin to what L'Association, for example, had done in France. We also aimed to make the daring move of establishing a viable specialized comic book publishing structure in Quebec.
La Pastèque's objective is to produce books of impeccable graphic quality and professionalism. Its goal is to support the work of Quebec illustrators and writers venturing into comics and children's books, to bring together the works of authors from various countries and backgrounds.
In addition to comic book production, we have expanded our expertise by developing a dedicated youth sector. This sector now encompasses various formats: fiction albums, board books, comics, or non-fiction; our children's books receive meticulous editorial attention.
For 26 years, we have maintained a first-rate editorial expertise characterized by a cutting-edge publishing program and evident coherence.

Éditions Écosociété   B14

Founded in 1992 by activists committed to social ecology, Écosociété is a collective endeavor driven by diverse energies, tireless strong minds, storms, and flights of fancy. Independent, self-managed and proud of it, the publishing house considers literature to be an act of resistance against injustice and inequality.

While Écosociété has historically focused on publishing essays and practical guides, since 2019 its catalog has been enriched with comic books through the Ricochets collection, which breaks with the traditional form of the essay to reveal its substance in a different light. In 2022, the comic book Mégantic, un train dans la nuit (Christian Quesnel and Anne-Marie Saint-Cerny) won the Prix Éco-fauve at the Angoulême International Comics Festival. Other comic book authors include Yoakim Bélanger, Sandra Breault, Emanuelle Dufour, François Samson-Dunlop, and Djibril Morissette-Phan.

TTC ÉDITIONS: Cucumber Tart, a place for everyone in the world

Born on Rue de la Roquette, in the heart of the Resto Zinc des marcheurs de planète, TTC Éditions is an independent, handmade and collective publishing house, where ideas ferment like fine wine. We explore every form of creation, from coloring books to art books, including comics, photography and poetry.

Our first major project, Sous Bock Book, brought together a constellation of writers and illustrators, from the most underground to the most established, around a popular everyday object: the classic bar coaster. This art book sums up our credo: bringing people together through creation, connecting different worlds, all within an alternative and independent model.

At TTC Éditions, authors are also publishers. Everyone contributes their own sensibility, skills and energy to the collective.

Around Yann Diolo, sensitive entrepreneur, restaurateur, wine merchant and podcaster, and Matthias Bourdelier, author-illustrator from the world of books and comics, an eclectic team has formed: authors and artists Laurent Lolmède, Macha, Victor Hussenot, Emmanuel Lemaire, Armelle Antier, and Valentin Morel (writer and winemaker).

TTT   A06

Hello to the entire FBDM
We have been closely following your work in the comic book field, as well as your festival, which takes place every year in September.
We are TTT, an independent, non-profit comic book publishing house founded by eight authors. Our primary goal is to introduce emerging talents at the beginning of their careers, whose graphic originality we particularly value. Over the years, the publishing house has grown, and we now publish several collections that bring together both young creators and more established artists who already have multiple publications to their name.
We would be delighted to take part in your event in Montreal.
We are currently working with an illustrator who lives in Montreal and who could manage and represent our booth throughout the duration of the event.
