Books:
New Star Books publishes in the areas of social issues and politics; literary prose, both fiction and non-fiction, and poetry; and culture and history of British Columbia and the West.
New Star also publishes Transmontanus, a series of short illustrated books about some of the more unusual aspects of life in a corner of the world currently known as British Columbia.
Talonbooks' mandate is to publish work of the highest literary merit by world class authors from the mainstream and the margins of Canada’s three founding nations, as well as from both visible and invisible minorities within Canada’s cultural mosaic, and to work with all of our authors to build their national and international literary careers throughout their active writing lives.
Creative Guy Publishing is a small publisher in Vancouver, Canada which has put out a number of noteworthy titles since 2002, including the Amityville House of Pancakes series, numerous chapbook, audiobook and ebook novellas, Tales of Moreauvia historical SF magazine, and many more unique publications. At CGP we bring you the unusual, but not the alienating.
The Workhorsery offers you Canadian fiction without oppression, without the suffering. All those sensitive coming-of-age tragedies and poetic odes to the blowing wheat of the prairies have left you defeated. You have wandered the landscape of the Canadian novel and you have knelt and wept, traumatized by the weight of these stories. We understand. The Workhorsery is holding its arms out to you, waiting to offer comfort with stories that don't hurt. Non-traumatizing Canadian fiction does exist. No, really, it does. And we want to prove it to you.
