Independent Canadian Publisher of Escapism Fiction you can get lost in
My sister, co-author, and one of the co-founders of this publishing house went through a horrible tragedy recently. She lost a child. Now, she's asking for help. I'll let her tell it in her own words: I went through one of the worst things imaginable. I lost my newborn son. I was in labour for... Continue Reading →
We asked our authors to tell us a bit about themselves so you can get to know them better. In case you're not familiar with David McLain yet, he's the author of The Time Traveller's Resort and Museum; a curious and wonderful blend of most of the genres that make up Mirror World Publishing.

I don’t know about you, but this happens to me quite often. As a writer myself and as the owner of a small press, I often have a lot on my plate (especially in and around submission season!). I’m kind of in that place right now, so I thought I could offer some advice based... Continue Reading →

It’s no secret that this year has sucked in general. For us, it’s been a year of reduced sales and a year where we’ve greatly missed all the fun events we used to take part in. We’ve been lucky to be able to transition a few of these to take place online, but it just... Continue Reading →
This month I've asked a number of our authors to share their writing and publishing journeys with you, so I thought I should also share my own. The story of how Mirror World Publishing came to be is fairly well known at this point, so I've decided instead to write about my publishing dream and... Continue Reading →
Writing has been something I’ve been doing since the age of six. After many years of practice on my own—including writing short stories in elementary school that I would read at the local Literary Guild events (on school time!), writing plays in high school, and scripts in university at Ryerson’s Radio and Television Arts Program—I...
