The Strange Rewards of “Diving Board” You’d be amazed at how much mileage a story can get from a plant behaving like an animal, or vice versa. One of David Lynch’s early short films, The Grandmother, was about a kindly old woman who gr…

"There’s something kinetic in this juxtaposition of a lovelorn narrator and the surreal horse that’s growing in his home."

Excited to see Caren Beilin announced as the new Fiction Editor at @clereviewbooks.bsky.social. Despite our ardent distaste for the Cleveland Guardians (we are the official Canadian small press of the Detroit Tigers), the Cleveland Review of Books is one of our favourite new-ish publications.

Slipping into the twilight zone: Diving Board by Tomás Downey The first thing I think to write is this: what’s happening to me is incredible. But immediately, I stop—I’m suspicious of everything. I think about it, reread the sentence, and the pen slips throug…

love love to see friend / client @invisibooks.bsky.social here making the case for the role small presses play in making writing careers (if not piles of money)

Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye sold just 2,000 copies in its first year. Today, it’s a number many authors can’t recover from. Writer @tajjaisen.bsky.social examines how the publishing industry’s sales track can make or break careers before they even begin: thewalrus.ca/the-publishing-i...

Thanks so much for this, Maris.

How to Be a Good Literary Citizen (in Seven Easy Steps) Last Sunday I spent hours at the Brooklyn Book Festival, a too rare occasion for me to pull myself away from the internet for an entire afternoon. As I looked around at the crowd on their way to pa…

My way of coping with all of the madness is focusing on what I can do to make my community a little bit stronger. So excuse me for all of the earnestness, but I wrote about ways we can all pitch in to support a thriving literary culture. lithub.com/how-to-be-a-...

Canadian publisher extraordinaire. 😂

Given the capitulatory pressure / temptation experienced by corporate media and institutions, there has arguably been no greater moment in recent history for us all to increasingly, vocally and materially support independent media.

Happy publication to The Pugilist and the Sailor—the debut novel from Toronto author Nadia Ragbar, published by Invisible Publishing.✨

The Pugilist and the Sailor is available wherever books are bought or borrowed.

The front cover of the poetry collection The Lantern and the Night Moths – five modern and contemporary Chinese poets, selected and translated by Yilin Wang. The front cover shows a night sky, with the title in white over it, some Chinese characters and a faint moth, plus a lantern centred towards the bottom of the page.

My final #WITMonth read for this year – 3 of the 5 poets in this collection are women. I'm particularly taken with the work of Xiao Xi, but it's all so gorgeously done. Do yourself a favour and read this!

We’ll get one in the mail to you once it arrives back from the printer in a few weeks. You might be interested to know that Cattle was our bestselling Throwback by far and actually went into a second printing (tho we started with a conservative 500). Really resonated with readers.

Did we send you a copy of our new edition of Cattle?

Be Scared of Everything: Horror Essays · Invisible Publishing A book that shows us everything is terrifying—from Pokémon to PTSD—and that horror can be just as honest, vulnerable, and funny as it is scary.

In honour of the official start of spooky season, please allow me to boost my horror essay collection, BE SCARED OF EVERYTHING. It's got Ouija boards, it's got chainsaws, it's got demons and cannibals and oceans of blood.
It's available wherever you get books.

@zoeperry.bsky.social did an amazing job translating it.

Die, My Love is a favourite over here (though we’re biased, since we’re publishing Sarah Moses next translation in October), as is Zoe Perry’s translation of Of Cattle and Men. Not that it really matters, but both Canadian translators!
