The Presk’île review, a literary and visual project centered on the Rhuys peninsula in Brittany, France, has begun a crowdfunding campaign to fund its publication. The project, led by Emma Crasnier, aims to highlight the region’s rich heritage, its entrepreneurial spirit, and the people who preserve its traditions. The Rhuys peninsula, situated between the Gulf of Morbihan and the Atlantic Ocean, is a relatively unknown destination despite attracting over 100,000 visitors each year. The review seeks to present a deeper, more nuanced portrait of the region beyond its tourist attractions, exploring its history as a stronghold of the ancient Veneti people and its ongoing cultural practices.
Presk’île includes interviews with local oyster farmers, vegetable growers, historians, and new winemakers, offering a comprehensive view of the peninsula’s cultural and economic life. The publication will be printed on high-quality recycled paper in a practical 170x240mm format. The crowdfunding campaign, launched on the platform Ulule, aims to raise 8,000 € to cover layout and printing costs. If the target is exceeded, a small launch party on the peninsula is planned.
Other publishing projects include The Ultimate Fight, a philosophical light novel by Nicolas Zago that has already met its funding goal, and Pamir, a collaborative work by photographer François Pache and poet Pamiri Sashi Zaifi, focusing on a region in Tajikistan. Meanwhile, De Saxus (Eilean Books) is undergoing judicial restructuring, with potential buyers including Hachette Livre and Média Participations. In the United States, publishing revenues increased by 14% in July 2026, driven by trade books and digital audio. In Brazil, WMF Martins Fontes has decided to remove its books from Amazon due to discount policies.
In France, the Maury Printer group is undergoing judicial restructuring, which could lead to the loss of 680 jobs. In the UK, the book market reached £1.003 billion in sales by August 15, 2026, with fiction leading the growth. In Argentina, independent bookstores are facing a crisis after a 41.5% drop in turnover between 2023 and 2026. In Japan, the Ministry of Economy aims to achieve 1000 billion yen in international manga sales by 2033. Other developments include the acquisition of The Passage editions by Glénat, the launch of Insight France by Insight Editions in partnership with Hachette Livre, and the appointment of Arnaud Labory as director of the press service at Albin Michel.
