"Lisez-vous le belge ?"

From 16th November to 25th December, the whole book chain swings into action and launches the Lisez-vous le belge ? (as in Do you read Belgian ?) campaign, that aims to put Belgian French-speaking books in the spotlight.

From 16th November to 25th December, pride will be given to Belgian French-speaking books[1] throughout a huge promotion campaign called Lisez-vous le belge ? It is one of the many support measures for the book chain adopted by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.

The six members of PILEn - Maison des Auteurs, ADEB, Éditeurs singuliers, SLFB, APBFB, FIBBC – have associated with a dozen other partners in order to celebrate the Belgian French-speaking book diversity and to put forward all those who safeguard its existence.

For a period of six weeks all the partners will join forces under the hashtag #LisezVousLeBelge, each by offering several initiatives and various content: editorials, interviews, selections, game-contests… It is the perfect opportunity to discover and support the book ecosystem richness in Brussels and Wallonia!

Further information on the campaign and other contents will be available on Lisez-vous le belge Facebook page. From Monday on, the campaign will also be available on other social networks such as Instagram and LinkedIn, where poems and illustrations created for the campaign will be regularly published.

Help us bring this campaign to life and make the hashtag #LisezVousLeBelge go viral by joining us from 16th November to 25th December.

[1] For the sake of inclusiveness, we will consider as a “Belgian French-speaking book” every book written in French by a Belgian author and/or published in Belgium.
