In case you haven’t noticed, I read A LOT of books. As I flip through page after page, I sometimes wish reading was more FUN. 

Remember those choose-your-own-adventure books? I always had a blast deciding the fate of my protagonist. (Being the “re:bel” I am, I never liked to leave it up to the author, anyway.)

Well, now I’m choosing to embark on an adventure of my own. re:books is expanding! 🎉

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my independent publishing house, re:books, where we’ll publish and celebrate female authors across all genres. 

re:books is a broad commercial independent publishing house based in Toronto. We believe what's good is read and what’s read is good. Reading should never feel like a choRE: — my goal is to make it breezy and enjoyable again. (Seriously, who re:ally wants to decipher Proust in their little to no free time?)

re:books will publish stories that I’d personally like to devour. 💖 And I’m so excited that we already have seven books in the works! Here is a list of all the authors whose books I’ve acquired (so far) and all about their books.

We’re currently on the hunt for more commercial fiction, memoirs, non-fiction, romcoms and full-on romance, thrillers, YA, and beach reads. So, if you or any of your friends have a manuscript, (wo)man, do I have the opportunity for you. Enter it into our second annual Write Away Summer Contest! If we select your script, you’ll be published by re:books‚ guaranteed. Read more about how to enter here to join our amazing roster of authors. (Yes, I’ve been sneakily working on this for a while.)

Here’s our debut title:
