Walter Augustinus Petrus Soethoudt, Antwerp, September 20 1939, is a Belgian writer and publisher.

In 1964 he started his one-man business by publishing quantities of erotic fiction, some of it written by himself, others works by tested authors such as D.A.F. Sade (before Bert Bakker did). Later as Soethoudt & C°., he publishes literary fiction, plays and essays and historical non fiction, as well as work on the "Vlaamse Beweging" (Soethoudt Essay). He later founded Facet nv which also published foreign authors. Freddy de Vree wrote a small essay on him[1].

He was printer-for-hire with an interesting bibliography: partly risqué[2] and sensational[3][4], partly literary fiction by authors such as Georges Adé, Heere Heeresma, René Gysen, Gust Gils, Freddy de Vree, Claude Krijgelmans, Patrick Conrad, Louis Willems and Jef Geeraerts. These authors also often translated for Soethoudt and published more often than not under pseudonyms for his imprints.

Soethoudt was no Eric Losfeld, but Belgian's nearest equivalent. Ah, the glorious days of literary mystifications! Read all about them in Soethoudt's 2008 autobiography titled Uitgevers komen in de hemel [5], edited by Harold Polis.
