Spotlight on Éditions Akinomé
Founded in 2016, Éditions Akinomé is an independent publishing house specializing in travel writing.
Working closely with writers and travel artists, Akinomé publishes immersive books that invite readers to explore the world. Committed to sustainability, the publisher raises ecological awareness through its content and embraces responsible production methods.
The rights management needs of Éditions Akinomé
Before implementing Crealo, Éditions Akinomé managed its author rights using Excel spreadsheets.
As the number of authors grew, now over 50 and the catalog expanded beyond 70 titles, the process became increasingly time-consuming and prone to human error.
They needed a professional, secure platform to handle their rights and royalty workflows more efficiently, and to facilitate Urssaf declarations, without relying on generic accounting tools already in use.
Above all, they sought a solution tailored to the unique needs of publishing: one that protects author data while supporting the specifics of royalty management in an editorial context.
Crealo: practical and easy to use
We asked Emmanuel Gazeau, president of Éditions Akinomé, to share his experience with Crealo. Here’s what he had to say:
“I’ve been a Crealo client for three years, and I’m very satisfied with the service."
“The simplicity of the platform is a real strength. Looking back on my 2024 royalty cycle, I can say the software works exactly as it should.”
"Crealo helps me avoid errors. It’s far easier now than when I was handling everything alone.”
Time savings on royalty reporting
"We attend a lot of book fairs, and our schedule is packed, we don’t have a lot of downtime.”
" Being able to handle royalty reporting automatically is a huge help.”
“ It’s one less thing to worry about.”
Clear, professional statements for authors
“It’s essential for us to provide authors with clear, detailed royalty statements, so they have all the information they need.”
"Thanks to Crealo’s reports, I hardly receive any questions or complaints from authors anymore.”
Responsive customer support
“I recently contacted customer support and got my issue resolved quickly.”
“Every time I reach out to Crealo, I get a quick and helpful response.”
