| Smoky Peace Press is a small Northern Alberta Canada
press that publishes an eclectic mixture of creative
genres. It was originally born out of the need to
showcase northern Alberta talent but has expanded to
include some of the best Canadian writers especially in
the series of four anthologies. These contributors
include Lorna Crozier, Rudy Wiebe, Lee Maracle, Thomas
Wharton, Catherine Simmons Niven, Glen Sorestad, Sharon
Butala, Candace Savage, Eric Greenway (Best First Book--Sask.
Book Awards), not to mention Northern Alberta authors
like Linda Smith, Jim Nelson and other newly published
and promising writers.
We have just begun to publish individual writers. Saskatchewan's first Poet Laureate, Glen Sorestad, published Grasses & Gravestones with this press as our first individual writer's publication in 2003/2004. We have published our first novel in 2007: Vivian Demuth's Eyes of the Forest. Alberta Foundation for the Arts will be sponsoring a Western Canadian reading tour for Smoky Peace Press in April/May 2007. For more information, click here to see the Vivan Demuth Tour page". This is a progressive press in its ideological
leanings, in its dedication to literary value, and in
its democratic interest in newer talented writers. We
have a good record for quality, and for picking writers
with a future. |
