Saskatchewan Publishers
Publishers in Saskatchewan come from many different backgrounds and business models, from University presses to small, independent literary presses to hybrid publishers to self-publishers and mom-and-pop entrepreneurs.
SaskBooks is Saskatchewan’s provincial creative industry association for book publishers. We don’t publish books; we are a member-based not-for-profit association whose members are small & independent book publishing businesses in Saskatchewan. Check out our Spotlights.

The books featured in this catalogue were produced
and published by Saskatchewan businesses. Your local independent bookseller will have many of these books in their “local” sections, because they know you want to read local and support small and independent prairie businesses. If you would like a free copy of the catalogue, please contact us at [email protected]askbooks.com and we’ll send you one! This service and others provided by SaskBooks to the publishing industry are supported by the Government of Canada through the Canada Book Fund, by the Canada Council for the Arts, and by the Province of Saskatchewan through Creative Saskatchewan.
