Founded in 2015 by Lori Shwydky and Cheryl Ann Kelly, Rebel Mountain Press is a small, independently owned Canadian book publisher of anthologies, poetry, children’s and young adult literature, memoir, and adult fiction. Currently, we publish 5-6 titles per year. Rebel welcomes new and emerging Canadian authors, as well as more established Canadian writers. Our goal is to give a voice to Canadian authors who might not otherwise be heard, such as those from the LGBTQ2+ community, authors of Aboriginal descent, or those from other marginalized groups. Our aim is to create books that are insightful and promote greater social awareness and tolerance. We strive to publish books that will make a strong artistic and cultural contribution to Canadian literature—to illuminate the experiences of Canadians of all ages, abilities, ethnicities, genders and sexual orientations, giving readers the perspective and insight necessary to empathize with and understand others from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
As a new and emerging publisher, we currently have six anthology books in print (see our catalogue page) with five new upcoming titles in 2019. ( Future projects)

Rebel Mountain Press anthology - Breaking Boundaries: LGBTQ2 Writers Coming Out and Into Canada has been nominated for the 2019 BC BookWorld's George Ryga Award - an annual literary prize for BC writers who have achieved an outstanding degree of social awareness in a new book published in the preceding calendar year.
Please see our future projects page for the anthologies, poetry, children's and YA books planned for release in 2019-2020.
