A charmingly contrary literary press based in beautiful post-industrial Hamilton, Ontario.
Do you know what House Style is? In publishing, it's the set of decisions that a press makes around how their books are presented. Think how to handle em or en-dashes, or preferred spellings. But for us, it's also a free online magazine. And you can sign up here: www.wolsakandwynn.ca/house-style-...
Unfortunately we've discovered that some of our staff are being impersonated by scammers. Please note that we don't solicit books that have been previously published and we would never recommend a specific literary agent to you. You can learn more about how we publish at www.wolsakandwynn.ca
We're delighted to see Nancy Jo Cullen's Dish and Rabindranath Maharaj's The Nowhereian on the 49th Shelf's Most Anticipated Fall books list! Take a read through to see some of the brilliant titles coming your way from Canadian publishers next season: 49thshelf.com/Blog/2026/07...
