Caitlin Press was established in 1977 by Carolyn Zonailo as a feminist literary press in Vancouver, BC. Cynthia Wilson and the late Ken Carling bought Caitlin Press in 1991 and moved the business to Prince George, quickly establishing themselves as the trade publisher of the Central Interior of British Columbia. In March 2008, Vici Johnstone of Halfmoon Bay purchased the press. Under her direction, Caitlin Press received the Jim Douglas Award from the Association of Book Publishers of British Columbia. In 2016, Caitlin Press launched Dagger Editions, dedicated solely to publishing literary fiction, non-fiction and poetry by and about queer women (those who identify as queer women, including trans women, or include this in their personal history).
2017 marks forty years of proud publishing for Caitlin Press. We’re proud to share this birthday with our friends at Room magazine, and hope you will join us on Friday, March 10th, from 7 PM onwards at Taste Lounge (560 Seymour Street) to celebrate. Mingle with our publishing staff, Room magazine editors, and local authors. Browse our vast selection of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, available for purchase.
