Blue Butterfly Books is an independent publishing house that celebrates the freedom in Canada's diversity and the wide range of our country's voices.
Such freedom is reflected, and enhanced, through the four components of our publishing program: fresh voices, new angles, living history, and inspiring lives.
New authors bring freshness to the Canadian scene. They help push back the edges of stultifying conformity. Blue Butterfly publishes a number of startling yet engaging new voices in both fiction and non-fiction, as well as established writers venturing for the first time into new genres of writing here.
Blue Butterfly also brings readers new angles and perspectives dealing with the so-called "margins" of society. Authors here write about mental and physical disabilities, racism, persecution, poverty, human rights, and First Nations issues.
Third, Blue Butterfly's books of biography, non-fiction, and historical fiction help bring the past to life for new generations. Blue Butterfly authors often highlight little-known yet significant events and courageous people who created the conditions in which Canadians live in freedom today.
And finally, the fourth component is provided by Blue Butterfly books about the inspiring lives of individuals who face life and, despite set-backs, find opportunities to soar above them.
Think free . . . be free!
