Drumroll, please: In Other Words is no longer just an editorial collective. It is now, also, a publishing house!
Building on our expertise in content creation and editorial project management, we launched In Other Words Éditions in 2024 to publish creative books that fully showcase Mauritian culture and local talent. This new role also allows us to support businesses looking to bring editorial projects to life.
Published in March 2025, our first book Moris Ikonik is a beautifully crafted coffee table book that celebrates Mauritius through 50 emblems capturing the essence of the island. Whether cultural or historical symbols, iconic figures, places, dishes, or drinks, the book highlights—in a modern and artistic way—many of the elements that make Mauritius so charming, both to its people and to visitors and island lovers alike.
Published in both French and English (with the English translation by Jyoti Punjabi), the book is the result of a collaborative effort bringing together numerous artists, including some fifteen photographers.
From concept to printing – which was done at Précigraph – Moris Ikonik is a local project, imagined and created in Mauritius!
