- Renaissens is unique in that it only publishes authors with disabilities.
- The idea was born out of a reflection on access to employment for disabled people (difficult access in today's society, especially for disabled graduates).
The publisher wants to take action in favour of disability with three objectives:
1. Changing the way society looks at disability
2. Giving disabled people a social identity by becoming authors
3. Enabling writing to fulfil its therapeutic function
- Renaissens is a genuine self-publishing house
- Its authors are paid 10%, as in the major publishing houses.
- All literary genres are accepted (novels, short stories, drama, poetry, personal accounts, etc.).
- All disabled authors are accepted (blind, partially sighted, deaf, people with reduced mobility, etc.).
- Each author benefits from personalised support right up to the publication of their work.
- The books are available in bookshops all over France, where anyone can order them.
- Distribution is handled by Sodis, in an environmentally-friendly way, as the publishing house is committed to the "zero waste" project, printing books only on demand.
- The publishing house has 3 collections, all of which have received an ISSN number from the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BNF):
Voir Autrement : the imaginary world of people who have never seen
The words of silence Any book written by a Deaf person, allowing hearing people to discover their world.
Like everyone any writing that is not included in Voir autrement or Les Mots du Silence
- Since September 2019, Renaissens has had approval from the State to train a young person in civic service (6 to 9-month contract). The young person on civic service is provided by the Mission Locale Cannes Pays de Lérins. The young person participates fully in all the missions, 24 hours a week.
