“Publishing and writing literary works is the best cause to which one can give one's energies; it offers support to humane and civilized values in a time when these are undermined and attacked from all quarters.”
Louis Dudek [1918- 2001]

Submissions
DC Books does from time to time publish unsolicited manuscripts from Canadian citizens or landed immigrants only. N.B. Always query first, providing synopsis, opening chapter (or sample), brief biography including publishing history, and a plan of how you would market your book. If we’re interested, we’ll ask for more. Inquiries should be addressed to the DC Books post office box or e-mail address. Kindly DO NOT provide information in attachments. Due to the volume of inquiries, response may take time.
History of the Press
Related to John Sutherland’s northern review (itself springing from the merger of the magazines Preview and First Statement) through the intermediary presses Contact and Delta Canada, DC Books embodies a tradition of literary innovation, dissent against convention, and artistic facilitation that is second to none. These connections extend beyond title and purpose.
