Small Press Saturday: House of Anansi Press

Straight up, it has been a hell of a week. My avoidance techniques have included cooking, listening to audiobooks, working, and writing a couple of things for the Butterflies & Aliens Library. Talking about all things bookish is a welcome escape.

This Saturday, I am thrilled to introduce you to Book*hug Press.

This week we are taking a bit of a personal twist for Small Press Saturday, with an introduction to The Juvenilia Press. The Juvenilia Press publishes early writings by children and adolescents, many of whom went on to become well-known authors as adults.

Curious to read a story written by Jane Austen when she was 14? Look no further…

Small Press Saturday: Nimbus Publishing

We are heading out to the east coast of Canada today to say “hello” to Nimbus Publishing. This independent press is the largest English-language publisher east of Toronto and specializes in content relevant to the Atlantic provinces. Which does not mean that their books are not of interest outside of the Atlantic provinces…
