Independent books for curious minds.
Crimson Leaf Press is a Canadian publishing imprint focused on distinctive writing, lyrics, poetry, stories and unconventional works that deserve a place beyond the screen.
Independent by design.
We believe a book should retain the character of the person who wrote it. Crimson Leaf Press exists to bring distinctive writing into print without sanding away the quirks, humour, rhythm or personality that made it worth publishing in the first place.
Distinctive Voices
Work with personality, perspective and something worth saying.
Careful Production
From manuscript to finished book, with attention to the details that matter.
A Canadian Imprint
Independent, home-grown and proudly Canadian.
A Boy, A Dog, and A Big Blue Whale
A collection of 201 lyrics — observations, stories, relationships, absurdities and fragments of life gathered over years of writing. Funny, reflective, and sometimes unexpected, this is a book about people, places, and the things that stay with you.
Not everything worthwhile in life fits neatly on a shelf.
Some writing is poetry. Some is lyric. Some is story, observation, memory or something harder to classify. Crimson Leaf Press is interested in the work first and the label second.
