Freehand Books was established in 2007 as the literary imprint of the academic publisher Broadview Press with a very simple mandate: to publish excellent Canadian literature. In 2016, after publishing forty titles, Freehand became independent. Their list is an aesthetically diverse, award-winning collection of fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction by both established authors and exciting new voices. Freehand prides themselves on careful attention to detail throughout the editorial process, the high production quality and innovative design of titles, and creativity in the marketing and promotion of each book.
