Dundurn Press, established in 1972 by Kirk Howard, is one of Canada’s largest and most established independent publishing houses. Based in Toronto, the press began with a focused mission to publish Canadian history and politics but has since expanded into a multi-genre powerhouse with a catalog of over 2,500 titles in print.
The name “Dundurn” is a tribute to the historic Dundurn Castle in Hamilton, Ontario, signaling the publisher’s deep-rooted connection to Canadian heritage. Over the decades, the house has grown significantly by acquiring several smaller presses, allowing it to offer a vast array of content, including:
Fiction and Mystery: Dundurn is a major player in the Canadian literary scene, particularly known for its compelling crime fiction and contemporary novels.
History and Biography: It remains a premier destination for authoritative works on Canadian military history, local heritage, and the biographies of influential national figures.
Young Adult and Middle-Grade Fiction: The press has a strong commitment to engaging younger generations with stories that reflect diverse experiences and Canadian values.
As of 2025, Dundurn Press continues to thrive under new leadership that took the helm in 2019. The press has successfully modernized its operations, embracing digital innovation and international distribution while remaining a fiercely independent voice. It is recognized for its high production standards and its ability to bridge the gap between commercial appeal and intellectual substance. For authors, Dundurn represents a prestigious platform that values the unique nuances of the Canadian voice within a global context.
