Rencontre avec Amélie Petit, co-fondatrice de la maison d'édition Premier Parallèle

Founded in 2015, Premier Parallèle publishes about ten books a year: essays, human sciences, stories, including a number of translations of foreign intellectuals. Essays in the human sciences that do not deal with current events, but worry about them; resolutely literary texts, but that do not encroach on the territory of fiction; and finally books that propose to take an interest in the life of things, to survey the material fabric of the world.

Amélie Petit, co-founder of the house, will tell us how we think about a catalog, and a collection in particular – the opportunity to enlighten, more generally, the manufacture of the book.

La Voix des Indes, festival of independent publishing in the library

Granting a special place in the library, in order to allow the singular voice of independent publishing to express itself, is the ambition of this festival.

By valuing its abundant production, pluralism and diversity of the editorial landscape that it embodies, La Voix des indés returns for a third edition, from 15 January to 21 February 2026.

And this year, new libraries are joining the adventure!

Combining bookstores, leaving carte blanche to carefully chosen publishing houses, La Voix des indés offers meetings and workshops for all audiences in order to highlight a valuable work, innovative and advocating difference in an increasingly concentrated editorial environment.
