ABOUT THE PRESSES
Biblioasis is a literary press based in Windsor, Ontario (with staff in Fredericton!), committed to publishing the best poetry, fiction and non-fiction in beautifully crafted editions.
Conundrum Press is located in Mi’kma’ki/Nova Scotia, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. The press was founded by publisher Andy Brown in 1996, amidst the political turmoil and cultural vibrancy of Tiohtiá;ke/Montreal. Originally a publisher of chapbooks, short stories, novels, comics, and zine collections, Conundrum began exclusively publishing literary graphic novels in 2010.
Dog-Eared Books is located in Oromocto, NB. They're a used bookstore that gives books multiple lives, with a selection of local authors and artisans, healing crystals with an insightful guidance of tarot services.
Éditions Perce-Neige est une maison d’édition acadienne qui publie en français des livres témoignant de la richesse, de la vivacité et de la singularité des littératures de l’Atlantique. Vaillante et visionnaire, elle contribue au développement de ces littératures et veille à les faire rayonner dans la francophonie depuis 1980.
Founded in 1997 by Gary Dunfield & Andrew Steeves, Gaspereau Press is one of Canada’s most innovative and tenacious literary publishers. The award-winning press is known for the originality of its authors, the beauty of its books, and the quality of its productions. Its books—Smyth-sewn trade paperbacks, cloth-bound hardcovers and letterpress-printed limited edition—are produced in Gaspereau’s own printing works, located in the sleepy shiretown of Kentville, Nova Scotia.
Based in Fredericton, New Brunswick’s capital, Goose Lane Editions is a vital part of Canada’s ever-morphing publishing landscape. Whether it's homegrown Canadian fiction, singular collections of poetry, books on contemporary art, or courageous stances on environmental issues and global politics, they provide book lovers with great reads that inspire, spur conversation, and stimulate minds. They seek to represent a balance of voices and proudly embrace Queer Lit as well as First Nations and Inuit authors and artists who are shaping and transforming our perspectives.
Invisible Publishing is a small, scrappy, and seriously good producer of contemporary fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, with an emphasis on Canadian authors. As a not-for-profit publisher, they are committed to publishing diverse voices and stories in beautifully designed and affordable editions. They are based out of Fredericton, Halifax, and Picton, ON.
Monster House Publishing, a children’s publishing company located in Fredericton, believes that literacy and the arts create a bond of understanding between different viewpoints in the world – we embody diversity and inclusion through our storytelling. Each title aims to promote Atlantic talent while carrying a positive lesson within the pages. By providing educational content in an entertaining and literary manner, Monster House aims to aid the improvement of literacy rates provincially, nationally, and globally and to encourage the lifelong love of reading.
