It's time to tell the world your story.
At Pownal Street Press, we publish with purpose.
Pownal Street Press is a publisher of nonfiction and children’s books, with both hybrid and traditional programs. We share new and beloved stories, and champion diverse cultures. We offer contemporary Canadian romance with our traditional imprint Sugar Shack Books.
We exist to give rise to brave stories, and to be a light for community and connection.
From first draft to the cupcakes at your book launch, Pownal Street Press supports authors in crafting beautifully published books. Women-owned and women led, we partner with authors to create powerful books.
PSP guides you through the publishing process from your manuscript’s editorial to its layout and design, all the way to printing coordination and trade distribution.
The PSP team works with your artistic vision and goals, helping you to build a timeline and a project plan that works for you and helps bring your book to life.
At PSP, our values come first and we fight for the stories that need to be told.
We are on a mission to create beautiful books.
