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, adult fiction and creative non-fiction. Currently, we publish 2-4 titles per year. Rebel welcomes new and emerging Canadian writers, as well as more established Canadian authors. Our four main core values are: Diversity, Equality, Tolerance, and Female Empowerment. 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 Indigenous descent, or those from other marginalized groups. Our aim is to create books that are insightful and promote human and animal rights, greater social awareness and tolerance—books that create positive change.
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.
