Dundurn Press is one of the largest Canadian-owned book publishing companies of adult fiction and non-fiction.[3] The company publishes Canadian literature, history, biography, politics and arts. Dundurn has about 2500 books in print, and averages around one hundred new titles each year.[4] Dundurn Press was established in 1972 by Kirk Howard.[5] In 2009, Dundurn forged a co-publishing partnership with the Ontario Genealogical Society, and in 2011, Dundurn purchased Napoleon & Company and Blue Butterfly Books.[6][7] In 2013, Dundurn acquired Thomas Allen Publishers, the publishing branch of Thomas Allen & Son Limited.[8] Thomas Allen & Son Limited is a Canadian book distributor, and remains Canada's oldest family-owned and operated distributor, having been in continuous operation for over 90 years.[9][10] Dundurn Press authors include Lincoln Alexander, Linda McQuaig, Ted Barris, Michael Coren, Xue Yiwei, and Austin Clarke.
In January 2019, Howard sold Dundurn Press to a consortium of Canadian technology investors. They hired Kwame Scott Fraser as Publisher, and Howard became Publisher Emeritus.[11] Acquiring editor Russell Smith launched a new imprint for literary fiction and memoir called Rare Machines.[12][13]
Kirk Howard died of Parkinson's Disease in June of 2023. [14]
In February 2024, Fraser changed roles within the firm, and Meghan Macdonald was named Publisher. [15]
