16 Poetry Book Publishers by Leanne Dyck

I spent some time today—April 5, 2026—updating this link from the original. In 2020 I found 22 poetry book publishers. Today, I only found 16. Please support small presses.

In 2020, I scoured the Literary Press Group of Canada list of member publishers to find those publishers who publish poetry books. Please search this list for your best fit and then send them your poetry collection. Some of these publishers only accept submissions from Canadians. Others are open to a wider population of poets. Carefully read the submission guidelines.
