The independent publishing house **ediSens**, established in Paris in 2016, has announced the acquisition of **Marie Romaine Editions**, a smaller publisher founded in late 2022. Focused on non-fiction, **ediSens** will add a collection of "true stories" to its catalog, with three publications planned for the end of 2026. **Marie Romaine Editions**, which faced economic difficulties, will be fully integrated into **ediSens**, including its existing catalog of twenty works. Distribution of the new publications and the entire collection will be handled by Pollen, a publishing and distribution company. Charles-Henry Dubail, founder of **ediSens**, described **Marie Romaine Editions** as a project led by "a remarkable woman" who had "embarked on this adventure with her vision of things." The acquisition will allow **ediSens** to explore "true stories," which Dubail described as "literature of reality": "staging reality to captivate readers." Marie-Romaine Panié, the founder of **Marie Romaine Editions**, will remain with **ediSens** as "advisor and associate in development" of the new collection. Dubail envisions four to five new releases per year within the **Marie Romaine Editions**, emphasizing the need to "tighten costs" due to a difficult market. Other developments in the publishing industry include Arnaud Labory being appointed director of the press service of Albin Michel, a French publishing house. Hachette Livre, one of France's largest publishing groups, is reorganizing its international governance starting in 2027. Meanwhile, **Éditions du Félin**, a publishing house known for its literary focus, is launching a new collection called "Spotlight" featuring short books that can be read in order or at random. The National Syndicate of Publishing, a major industry organization, has extended a new salary grid to the entire industry, aiming to standardize pay across the sector. Editis, a publishing and media company, has appointed Valentin Bouvet as director of operations. The controversy surrounding the novel C’était ça ou mourir by Thélyson Orélien, which has been accused of using artificial intelligence, continues, with the author denying the claims. Meanwhile, Maggie Doyle, the French publisher of authors such as Ken Follett, Margaret Atwood, and John Banville, has died. Other notable events include the 100th anniversary of **Dangles Editions**, the launch of **Insight France** by **Insight Editions**, and the appointment of Antoine Bellier as president of the Religion group of the National Syndicate of Publishing.
