Penrose Press: Canadian Micropublisher
|
Penrose Press is a Toronto-based publishing house in its infancy. Creative Director Brianna Tosswill and Editor Natalie Lythe co-founded the Imprint in 2017 and have since launched 7 titles. We collaborate with a variety of authors, poets, and playwrights and encourage connections between those authors and other creatives. We hope to help emerging arts-industry workers in Canada and in doing so, create a community of interconnected artists, writers, photographers, editors, designers and curators. We aim to publish limited editions of hand-made, illustrated books twice per year.
