Between The Lines Publishers
Toronto, ON
Company Overview
Mandate/Objectives
Between the Lines was founded in 1977 to provide critical Canadian books on the 'left' of the political spectrum. It is still one of the few Canadian houses with this particular mandate. To date we have published 129 books and maintain 81 books in print. In recent years our mandate has expanded to include producing high quality, visually striking books with award winning designers (such as Jeff Jackson of Reactor, Gordon Robertson and Linda Gustafson of Counterpunch).
Principal Accomplishments
Among our main accomplishments is to have survived for 21 years (so far) in a tenuous political and cultural environment. We have published many excellent and popular books during this time, some of which have sold well for many years and are in continual demand, like Case Critical, Educating for a Change and Getting Started on Social Analysis. We have also developed a reputation as a publisher of relevant and interesting works by Canadian writers and activists: Queer Looks, ed. by John Greyson et al, The Culture of Nature, by Alex Wilson, Wild Garden by dian marino, The Mountie from Dime Novel to Disney by Michael Dawson and Industrial Cathedrals of the North by Louie Palu and Charlie Angus (which received special funding from the Visual Arts section of the Canada Council).
Structure
Between the Lines is 100% Canadian-owned, currently a non-profit corporation, without share capital and operates as a collective. We are in the process of switching our corporate status to for-profit, in order to be able to utilize the Ontario Book Publishing Tax Credit. The non-profit company will hold the single share in this company.
Brief History
Between the Lines was originally founded October 26, 1977 as a joint venture between the Development Education Centre of Toronto and Dumont Graphics of Kitchener. BTL has always operated as a small house, with not more than three full-time staff. Mandate/Objectives
