Monstrograph

Monstrograph is a French publishing company established in May 2018 by writers Martin Page and Coline Pierré. The company operates as an independent publishing house and is associated with literary and essay publishing. Its profile is particularly connected with feminist writing and contemporary social commentary. Monstrograph is best known internationally for publishing the French edition of Pauline Harmange’s feminist essay Moi les hommes, je les déteste, commonly referred to in English as I Hate Men. The book attracted controversy and broad media attention because of its deliberately provocative title and its criticism of misogyny and patriarchal gender relations. This association has made Monstrograph more visible beyond the French publishing sector, although publicly available reference material provides limited information about its wider catalogue, organizational structure, distribution network, financial performance, or current management. The company’s founders, Martin Page and Coline Pierré, are both writers, giving Monstrograph a creator-led identity rather than the profile of a large diversified publishing conglomerate. Available sources identify France as the company’s national base, but do not specify a headquarters address or detailed operating markets. Information about additional imprints, major publishing series, ownership, staffing, and current activity remains limited in the available reference material.

Monstrograph was founded in May 2018 in France by writers Martin Page and Coline Pierré. The available reference material characterizes it as a publishing company, but provides little detail about its legal structure, headquarters, distribution arrangements, catalogue size, or ownership. Its founder-led origin distinguishes it from large publishing groups and suggests a small independent publishing-house model, although the sources do not provide enough information to describe its internal operations in detail. Monstrograph’s best-known publishing event was its association with Pauline Harmange’s feminist essay Moi les hommes, je les déteste. The work, also known in English as I Hate Men, became controversial and attracted significant public attention because of its provocative title and its critique of misogyny and patriarchal social structures. Through this publication, Monstrograph gained visibility outside the French literary market and became linked with contemporary feminist publishing. Beyond this title, the available source material does not establish a complete list of Monstrograph publications, its editorial programme, or its subsequent business development. No reliable information is provided about acquisitions, mergers, changes in ownership, financial results, executive succession, or the launch of additional imprints. The company’s present status and continuing publishing activity are not described in sufficient detail by the supplied references.
