Third Éditions

Third Éditions is a French publishing house dedicated to video games, founded in 2015 by Mehdi El Kanafi and Nicolas Courcier. Together, in 2010, they already founded the publishing house Console Syndrome, which was then bought by Pix’n Love Éditions. During the four years they worked with Pix’n Love, Mehdi and Nicolas published and often co-wrote many video game essays, such as Zelda: The History of a Legendary Saga, The Legend of Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid: Hideo Kojima’s Magnum Opus. Since 2015, with their new publishing house, Third Éditions, they pursue their editorial approach: to analyze the greatest series in video game history. Thanks to two successful Kickstarter campaigns, they’ve now reached the international market with English translations of their books.

Large trade publishers generally accept manuscripts only through literary agents, while many independent and small presses accept direct submissions during reading periods. Before submitting anywhere, read the publisher's current guidelines, study recent books on its list, and never pay a reading or publishing fee to a traditional publisher.
