Who we are

Canadian Renaissance Press has been in business since 2013 and has published over eighty books in that time, most of which genre-bend in unexpected and fantastic ways. 

Many of our authors are members of marginalized groups, and we delight in uplifting their voices and provide a platform for them to speak to the rest of the world through their work. 

At Renaissance, we are passionate about books! We care about our authors’ enjoyment of the publishing process and about our readers’ enjoyment of a great Canadian read. 

Renaissance books are available on the platform of your choice. 


Who does what at Renaissance?

Renaissance started as a very tiny group of authors and book enthusiasts, and quickly grew to include amazing, passionate people who make up the team.

The Board of Directors manages the business as a whole, making financial and leadership decisions.

The acquisitions committee looks at the submissions we get in, and select the ones we will be publishing.

Our publishing team takes those manuscripts and turn them into books (or games).

Our authors/anthology editors give us the most important thing we have… books and games to publish!
