Dans un environnement où l’ ne cesse de croître, il est essentiel de remettre les auteurs face aux réalités de la chaîne du livre et des logiques de marché, de lancement des nouveautés, de préparation des manuscrits avec des règles, des contrats qui ont cours, des bases du digital, …

Initiée par Mutesi Gasana - ARISE Bookshop et soutenue par eKitabu et l’Institut Français du Rwanda - Centre Culturel Francophone du Rwanda, cette formation a été, aux dires des stagiaires, un moment fort de découvertes sur les bonnes pratiques du secteur.

Nous avons eu une séance pratique intéressante sur les couvertures des livres et leur attractivité, ce qui a marqué les esprits.

Cette formation était l’étape professionnelle du Umurage Festival littéraire qui est organisé au Mémorial du Génocide de Kigali.

Merci Mathilde Mangeot pour ton accueil

🌟 Tuesday is here, and Simon Sinek reminds us why we start with WHY:

“Regardless of WHAT we do in our lives, our WHY—our driving purpose, cause or belief—never changes.”

Let today be a reminder to lead with intention. Whether you're chasing goals, solving problems, or simply showing up—your WHY is your compass. 🔍💡

We just wrapped up an amazing session at Arise Book Academy on The Role of AI in Publishing — and it was nothing short of transformative! 🚀📚

From AI detectors to smart productivity tools, we explored how artificial intelligence can support every stage of the publishing process — from idea to market — enabling quicker, smarter, and higher-quality results.

Some standout tools we discussed:

ChatGPT-5 – For brainstorming, outlining, drafting, and editing.

Shimmr – For automated book marketing campaigns and copywriting.

Editrix – For AI-assisted editing and manuscript refinement.

Originality.ai – To check content originality and detect AI-generated text.

And many others, depending on the stage of publishing.

The key takeaway? AI is not here to replace human creativity — it’s here to supercharge it. Writers and publishers who strategically adopt these tools will move faster, work smarter, and reach further.

The future of publishing is intelligent, and it’s here now. 💡✨
