Caitlin Press was established in 1977 by Carolyn Zonailo as a feminist literary press. In the 1980s, Caitlin Press expanded its mandate to that of a BC literary press.

Caitlin Press publishes culturally significant books, including fiction, non-fiction (both historical and creative), and poetry. Occasionally they will produce a children’s or young adult title.

Caitlin Press Submissions

Caitlin Press welcomes all comers. No agent required.

Caitlin Press publishes work by Canadian authors, particularly those located in British Columbia.

Caitlin publishes fiction and non-fiction, literary fiction and regional non-fiction mainly, poetry as well. Caitlin is looking for topics concerning BC or by writers from the BC Interior, stories about and by Canadian women.

On average, Caitlin Press publishes twelve to fourteen titles, most of which are regional non-fiction (e.g. BC history or exploration, industry, politics, contemporary creative non-fiction). The remaining titles are literary selections such as works of fiction, short fiction, poetry, or prose.

Caitlin Press is Par Avion. Please do not send submissions by e-mail.

Submissions should be sent by post only. Do not send complete ms. Send synopsis and sample chapters first. Don’t forget SASE.

Good luck!
