Heritage House is a Certified Canadian Publisher!

Heritage House is happy to announce we are a Certified Canadian Publisher! 

Did you know that while Canadian-owned firms publish about 80% of English-language books by Canadian authors, they accounted for just 5.6% of reported sales in 2024? (via Quill & Quire). The Certified Canadian Publisher seal, launched this fall by the Association of Canadian Publishers, gives book buyers an easy way to spot titles from Canadian-owned publishing companies.

According to the ACP, the seal is part of a broader effort to rebalance the market share of Canadian-owned publishers. Independant presses operate in every province and territory, publishing books that reflect the wide spectrum of Canadian culture, regional interests, and supporting editors, designers, printers, booksellers, authors, and illustrators.

At a time where many Canadians want to support local businesses, the seal "provides greater transparency, national interest, and economic advantage to Canadian-owned businesses" (Quill & Quire).
