KO Éditions

KO Éditions, a division of KO Média (ELLE, VÉRO) and Groupe KO (KOTV, KO Scène), is a general-interest publishing house that offers the public a variety of works, including cookbooks, practical guides, biographies, and essays. Through subjects such as cooking, culture, and humor, as well as social issues, it seeks to both inform and entertain its readers.

Éditions de Mortagne

De Mortagne publishes books that stir emotions, broaden horizons, and transport readers. Its mission: to influence the psychological growth of its audience by being a leading publisher with meaningful impact. With a diverse catalogue—ranging from fiction for young readers and adults to practical guides on health, education, family, psychology, spirituality, and personal development—De Mortagne appeals to a wide readership.

Founded more than 45 years ago, this Quebec-based publishing house shines throughout French-speaking North America and Europe. Established in 1978, Les Éditions de Mortagne have earned a prominent place in the Quebec market thanks to their diverse literary offerings and an editorial approach rooted in the realities of the general public. Their catalogue spans a wide range of genres, from youth, adult, and young adult fiction to practical guides, personal growth books, works on esotericism, and true stories.
