Béliveau Éditeur, a Quebec-based publishing house with over 50 years of history, has been reacquired by Amélie McNicoll and Alexandre Vézina in July 2026. The new owners aim to revise the selection of projects, strengthen commercialization, and increase the publisher's presence in France, Belgium, and Switzerland. They intend to publish 25 to 30 titles in the short term, emphasizing sales success alongside editorial work. Originally founded in 1975 under the name Éditions Sciences et Culture, the publisher initially focused on scientific, pedagogical, and school books. In 2005, its founder's son, Mathieu Béliveau, took over before the acquisition by McNicoll and Vézina. The National Association of Book Publishers (ANEL) lists the publisher's current focus areas as personal development, humanities, psychoeducation, practical books, and fiction. The new leadership wants to involve authors more closely in the publishing process, with a strategy centered on "pride in content, in the container, and in the author." They also emphasize the importance of author participation in marketing plans, particularly for those working in expertise and personal growth. The new owners have engaged with European distribution partners, including DG Diffusion for France and Belgium, and Transat for Switzerland, to refine the selection of books for these markets. They believe there is an interest in books that highlight Quebec's landscapes, culture, and accents, as well as expertise and personal growth titles. The relaunch includes a focus on restarting production, which was interrupted in August 2025, with a phase of recovery, restructuring, and reorganization of internal and external processes. The new owners also mention planning a tour to meet European booksellers and readers.
