Contemporary Canadian Poets Series:
This series will feature the work of established Canadian writers in limited edition, small book formats (100 pages or less). The work in question can be completely new material (as in the case of A.F. Moritz’s Now That You Revive), it can be material previously published in another format (as in David Solway’s Demilunes), or it can be a new thematic selection of poetry by a living author chosen and introduced by a second party.
We will accept proposals from poets (subjects) with published trade books and other publications.
- We're also interested in hearing from writers (with some publishing history) who would like to introduce the work of established Canadian poets.
- Please email us with your proposal, which should include: your name and/or the name of the poet whose work would be featured, a possible theme for the book, and some information about yourself, biographical and bibliographical.
Canadian Masters Series:
This series features the writing of deceased Canadian poets, as introduced by a younger generation (under 40) of contemporary writers.
- New volumes will be published annually - please note that future volumes have been decided for the next several years and we're no longer accepting submissions for this category.
