Welcome! We are excited to share our new online submission system with you. As with all things new there may be unforeseen hiccups, so please bear with us if you encounter any ghosts in the machine.

Turnstone Press is a literary publisher, located in the heart of the North American continent. We publish Canadian authors and landed immigrants and strive to publish a significant number of new writers, to publish in a variety of genres, and to have a portion of each year's list authored by Manitoba writers and/or books featuring prairie content. We are always looking for titles that reflect the diversity of both Manitoba and Canada and encourage Indigenous writers, writers of colour, writers from the LGBTQ2S community and writers with disabilities to send us their work.

We are interested in literary fiction, literary non-fiction—including literary criticism—and poetry. We also publish literary mysteries, thrillers, noir, speculative fiction, and urban fantasy under our Ravenstone imprint.

We do NOT publish young adult, young reader, children’s, romance, horror, cookbooks, self-help, business, family histories or personal memoirs (a.k.a. “life writing”).

Our books cover a range of subjects and styles, so if you are interested in submitting to us, we recommend you familiarize yourself with recent titles on our list to see if your manuscript might be a fit for our publishing program.
