The Story Behind Maison Ynoma

Maison Ynoma is an independent publishing house based in Brussels.

Our vocation is to shape and elevate texts that explore the human condition. We focus on fiction where literary depth, psychological nuance, and narrative power converge.

Publishing as a craft of selection

We publish works that resonate through psychological novels, thrillers, noir, and dystopias. Each manuscript undergoes a careful editorial process designed to bring out its essence without smoothing away its edges. For us, publishing is not about multiplying titles, but about building a catalogue that carries meaning and permanence.

A house of resonance

Maison Ynoma defines itself not by volume, but by vision — a house where every text is approached with patience, integrity, and uncompromising artistic rigor.

Publication Process

Maison Ynoma offers two main paths of publication:

  1. Submission periods

    Authors may submit their manuscripts during short open calls, announced on our website and channels.

  2. Direct invitations

    Outside of these calls, publication generally takes place by invitation, when a manuscript resonates with our editorial vision.

We bring editorial rigor and individuality to every collaboration, always in service of its vision.
