CAPYBARABOOKS
When Georges Hausemer and Susanne Jaspers founded their publishing house in 2012, it was this charming way of life that prompted them to make this likeable animal the star of their company logo. Ever since then, the little hog has been proudly emblazoned on all their publications, which include literature, travel guides, non-fiction and scientific books. In August 2018, Georges Hausemer passed away before his time, at the age of 61. Susanne Jaspers continues to run the publishing house alone. Well, not entirely alone – she still has the trusty water hog by her side.

ÉDITIONS GUY BINSFELD
The aim of Éditions Guy Binsfeld is to immortalise stories that shape and reflect Luxembourg’s culture. There are many different ways of telling great stories like these. They like to find just the right one. Their collection speaks many languages, tracing what has left its mark on our country and what roots it in the present. Promoting young voices is just as important to them as looking after their portfolio of renowned authors. They are actively involved in all domains, be it literature, non-fiction, illustrated books, travel guides, children’s books, or business books. For them, it’s about quality over quantity every time. That’s why they publish just over a dozen books a year. And this means they can do what they like to do best: bring individual concepts to life.

PERSPEKTIV EDITIONS
Their first licence was for the Loup and P’tit Loup books published by Auzou Editions. With a growing desire to share their passion for books with young children, the pair decided to create PersPektiv Editions in 2016 so they could be fully independent and autonomous when it came to production. This has been a brilliant challenge! Since PersPektiv Editions launched, around twenty new books have been added to its catalogue every year, which includes their creations and right purchases. They aim to use different stories to develop children’s imaginations and dreams.

ZOOM ÉDITIONS
Zoom éditions was founded in 2001 by Claudine Furlano and Nicolas Lefrançois. For its founders, a publishing house is a bit like having a child. It is born, it grows, it takes a lot of energy, it gets sick, it has accidents… With all that this implies for the founders-parents: sudden joys, anguish, tender smiles, sleepless nights, etc… Over the years, Zoom éditions have published a diversity of children’s books from novels to fanzines.
