Stonehewer is committed to excellence in both writing and publishing. Because we issue few titles in a year, we are able to give each book the special attention it deserves. We are passionate about our books, and we seek to publish authors who are equally passionate about theirs.
"Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere." — Jean Rhys
Non-Fiction
We are looking for elegant and imaginative work in the areas of memoir, history, biography, literary travelogues, and belles lettres.
Our press will favour Canadian authors whose work has been published in newspapers, magazines, literary journals, and books.
We are closed to non-fiction submissions until 2026.
Fiction
We are interested in any manuscript with a legitimate claim to literary excellence. If your manuscript has distinct characters, good ideas, and a clear voice — and, hopefully, some semblance of a real plot — we are happy to consider it.
Our primary focus is novels, but we will consider short story collections. We do not publish children’s fiction or young adult fiction.
We are closed to fiction submissions until further notice.
