Laure Gallimard has assumed the role of president of Gallimard Jeunesse, effective 1 July 2026. She succeeds Hedwige Pasquet, who led the youth division since 2009 and will now focus on "reading and education." Gallimard joined Gallimard Jeunesse in 2013 after working in television and previously led the illustrated youth department from 2019. She also joined the board of directors of Madrigall in 2019 and was appointed general delegate of the group in 2023 alongside her sister, Charlotte Gallimard. Alongside Gallimard's appointment, the executive team of Gallimard Jeunesse has been reorganized. Céline Dehaine has become chief executive officer of Gallimard Jeunesse. She began her career at the company in 2002 as a marketing director and later expanded her responsibilities to include the youth and comics divisions of the Madrigall group. In 2019, she took over the leadership of Flammarion Jeunesse. Thierry Laroche has been appointed as editor-in-chief and secretary general of Gallimard Jeunesse. He joined the company in 2002 as a literature editor and was responsible for creating Gallimard Bande Dessinée in 2005. He recently participated in launching Élégy, a label dedicated to young adult fiction, in 2025. In his new role, Laroche will oversee all editorial programs of Gallimard Jeunesse and retain responsibility for literature, pocket books for youth, and comics, roles he has held since 2019. Founded in 1972, Gallimard Jeunesse initially built its catalog around collections such as "1000 Soleils" and later launched "Folio Junior" in 1977. It became an autonomous subsidiary of Gallimard in 1991. Today, its catalog covers a wide range of sectors, including albums, children's literature, documentaries, pocket books, comics, and young adult fiction. The house is the French publisher of the Harry Potter series and relies on historical collections such as "Folio Junior." Other publishing updates include Éditions Vroum taking over Éditions de l'Attente, an independent publishing house founded in Bordeaux in 1992 and specializing in contemporary literature and poetry. Garance Dor, editorial director of Vroum, also takes over the editorial direction of L'Attente, which will retain its name and location in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. A new programming is planned starting in 2027. Other updates include ediSens acquiring Éditions Marie Romaine, the launch of Insight France by Insight Editions, the appointment of Arnaud Labory as director of the press service of Albin Michel, and the reorganization of Hachette Livre's international governance. Additionally, Éditions du Félin launched a new collection, "Éclairage," and the French Publishers' Syndicate provided a tool to measure the carbon footprint of a book's production.
