The short essays featured here come out of a round table that brought together representatives of the publishing industry in Maritime Acadie and from elsewhere. Facilitated by Clint Bruce, who also represented Éditions Tintamarre (Louisiana), the session aimed to generate discussion about current challenges for the book market and for the development of Acadian literature in the 21st century. The piece by Serge Patrice Thibodeau (Édition Perce-Neige) examines several aspects of the “high-risk job” of being a publisher, including digital publication. Marie Cadieux (Bouton d’or Acadie) highlights context-related factors such as literacy rates, while pointing to important gains for children’s and young adult literature. Catherine Voyer-Léger, outgoing president of the Regroupement des éditeurs canadiens-français, raises questions about the emergence of the next generation of publishers.
