The Hidden Brook Press
North Shore Series
of
Canadian Literature


Hidden Brook Press is proud to embark on this significant literary series entitled the “North Shore Series”.

As publisher, my goal, is to bring 30 different titles to press by Canadian authors living, in general, on the north shore of lake Ontario between Port Hope and Kingston. While I would agree with many that this is a humongous undertaking for a single bodied, small publishing house, with NO funding, it is done with an unwavering commitment to Canadian literature.

If you are interested in participating, as an author, in this series please do not hesitate to send me your work. My personal goal it to include both poetry and prose by established and emerging authors. Please only send a sample of your work if you feel you can have a finished ms ready for consideration within  6 months after your sample submission.  For this series, please, send a sample of your work only if you live between Port Hope and Kingston.  I look forward to hearing from you – writers@hiddenbrookpress.com.

Please be advised that the selection committee may take 4 - 8 weeks to look at your work. Be patient  :-)    Our pile of manuscripts is deep. As much as I would love to publish, mentor and steward every author into being published this just cannot be done. If you are rejected, please, please, keep writing and make the world a better place. Your time will come. You can always resubmit again later when you have a new or newly edited ms.

ALSO we are now accepting submissions for books with more than one author.  If you have one or more author that you would like to publish with we would be happy to hear from you.  Anthology submissions still have to go to the selection committee and are bound by the same carful scrutiny as single author books.  Your anthology will need a coordinator and an editor. Zap me a quick idea for your anthology and see if you should start collecting work .

Sincerely,

Richard M. Grove
Publisher..
