Canadian publishing company
Breakwater Books Ltd. is a Canadian publishing company based in Newfoundland and Labrador. Although the company began as a way for local authors in Newfoundland and Labrador to publish their work without leaving the province,[2] Breakwater now publishes works from authors throughout Canada and the UK.[3] The company places a strong emphasis on publishing books that preserve and celebrate the culture of Newfoundland and Labrador, although they publish books in many different genres.[3] The company is also known for its publication of educational materials for schools,[4] and was the first company in Atlantic Canada to do so.[5] As of 2004, Breakwater had published over 600 titles, releasing between 10 and 15 titles every year.[6]
