Small Press, Big Machines, and the Last Run of Canada's Most Stubborn Publisher | The Walrus
Briefly

Founded by Andrew Steeves and Gary Dunfield in 1997, Gaspereau Press emerged in Nova Scotia with a clear mission: to prioritize literary art forms like poetry and short fiction, which often go undervalued in the market. Steeves and Dunfield eschewed mass production, opting instead for a hands-on approach that covers all aspects of publishing—design, printing, binding—all performed on-site in their transformed municipal power building. This ethos allows them to create books that embody quality and connection, resisting the trends of fast, automated publishing.
In a world of mindless, automated production, Gaspereau Press stands as a testament to craftsmanship and the enduring love for the written word.
We don't just publish books; we create art from start to finish, ensuring every aspect reflects our commitment to quality and connection.
