Flanker Press is a bright spark in the Newfoundland and Labrador publishing scene. As the province’s most active publisher of trade books, the company now averages twenty new titles per year, with a heavy emphasis on regional non-fiction and historical fiction. The mission of Flanker Press is to provide a quality publishing service to the local and regional writing community and to actively promote its authors and their books in Canada and abroad.
Located in St. John’s, Flanker Press has grown from a part-time venture in 1994 to a business with eight full-time employees. In the fall of 2004, Flanker Press launched a new imprint,
Pennywell Books. This imprint includes literary fiction, short stories, young adult fiction, and children’s books.
In the spring of 2005, Flanker Press launched another new imprint, Brazen Books. As the word brazen implies, the imprint will publish books that are both offbeat and gritty.
We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Book Publishing Industry Development Program (BPIDP) for our publishing activities.
