Publishing division
We have published books since March 2012, handling editing, design and production for print and electronic editions. Manuscripts are invited in English, Punjabi, Hindi and other Indian languages, and we particularly welcome bilingual picture books from children’s authors.
Our sales team promotes published titles through newspapers, magazines, radio, television, public meetings, exhibitions and online retailers.
Libraries, schools and government agencies are core to our business. Consultation is free of charge.
We are grateful to the Government of Canada for financial support under the Canada Book Fund.
