Csimon Publishing Takes a New Step Toward Young Haitian Authors

The publishing house Csimon Publishing, led by Dr. Cherlin Simon, is excited to announce the creation of a subsidiary of Csimon Publishing in Haiti. Indeed, a management team, aimed at strengthening its approach to young Haitian authors, has been set up by the parent company, located in Virginia, United States. The goal of this initiative is to better support its authors, particularly the younger ones, offering them reliable assistance to foster their creativity and help them thrive. The committee is also in place to better coordinate the publishing house’s actions in their favor. This aligns perfectly with Csimon Publishing’s vision to actively contribute to the elevation of Haitian literary culture on a global scale, while highlighting Haitian talents and creating a bridge between Haïti and the rest of the world, which constitutes global culture. It is worth noting that among the more than 150 works already published by Csimon, most are works by Haitian authors living in Haiti.

A Dynamic and Committed Management Team

The new management team of Csimon Publishing consists of professionals from various backgrounds, all driven by the desire to promote Haitian literature. These influential personalities will bring their expertise to help new talents emerge and strengthen the visibility of the publishing house in Haiti. The committee is made up of Yves Marie Gustave, a well-known figure in the Haitian cultural scene and responsible for public relations. As the founder and artistic director of the theater company Les Ateliers Écriture, he will use his experience to promote Haitian culture and the distribution of works published by Csimon Publishing. Then, there is Joassaint Gelin, a young journalist at Island TV and Radio Le Témoin Haiti, photographer, and influencer. As Csimon Publishing’s ambassador, he will use his platform to promote Csimon Publishing to his followers. The committee also includes Pacome Emanuel, the general coordinator of the Salon du Livre de Port-au-Prince, who brings his expertise in organizing major literary events in Haiti. Moïse François and Mr. Cajuste Makeson, career educators and responsible for proofreading at Csimon Publishing, also serve as coordinators. All members of this committee work under the supervision of Csimon Publishing’s parent company, located in Virginia, to ensure consistent management and an effective strategy to promote Haitian literary culture on a global scale.

An Act of Patriotism and Cultural Commitment

In a context where many foreign companies are withdrawing from Haiti, Csimon Publishing stands out by remaining true to its commitment to Haitian literary culture. Notably, in addition to serving this cause from a distance, they are now doing their best to establish a physical presence in the country. The initiative to strengthen the publishing presence on local territory is also a demonstration of patriotism and hope for the Haitian youth. Through this gesture, Csimon Publishing offers young talents a space to share their creations. This, later on, will lead to reflections aimed at raising awareness of the country’s challenges.

Moi auteur de plusieurs ouvrages chez Csimon Publishing, je tiens à remercier la maison d'édition pour les différentes opportunités qu'elle m'a offert. Et beaucoup plus maintenant si elle a un siège résident en Haïti, qui résoudra les difficultés de transport les ouvrages édité pour la destination d'Haïti.
Je souhaite bon succès et un parcours exceptionnel à la maison d'édition.
