Oberon Press

We have no formal guidelines, but Oberon’s principal interests continue to be Canadian fiction, poetry and literary non-fiction. We cannot consider simultaneous submissions, and all manuscripts must be accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

Oberon Press is an independent Canadian literary publisher founded more than 40 years ago to help give Canadians books of their own. It is operated and owned by Canadians and publishes only books by Canadian writers. We have always been principally interested in fiction—Oberon has been recognized for many years as Canada’s leading publisher of short stories—and in poetry, but in recent years have developed a significant number of autobiographical non-fiction titles as well. We have also published biographies, historical studies, literary criticism, art books and children’s books. We will not publish a book unless it has literary merit. And we will not turn down a book with literary merit just because we think we will lose money on it.
