 Anvil
Press was established in 1988 to publish subTERRAIN Magazine.
The desire amongst those involved at the time was to eventually
publish a line of literary titles—books from new, virtually
unknown authors who were starting to make a name for themselves
on the Canadian literary scene.
In 1991 a short
manuscript of scatalogical focus arrived in our office. The manuscript was both scholarly
and extremely funny. We decided immediately that this slim volume was deserving of a
larger audience, and shortly thereafter we released A Toilet Paper, or, A Treatise on
Four Fundamental Words Referring to Gaseous and Solid Wastes Together with Their Point of
Origin. Sales were brisk and encouraging, a buoying experience for the small press
publisher.
In a spirit of naïve optimism, we carried on, bringing
those writers whose work we felt to be worthy of publication to an enthusiastic reading
public. Enjoy.
The publishing philosophy at Anvil remains
uncompromised:
"The discovery, nurturing, and promotion of new and
established Canadian literary talent."
This mandate is reflected in
our ongoing association with subTerrain
Magazine, and our sponsorship of the International 3-Day
Novel Writing Contest (acquired from Pulp Press in 1992)
