Ahead of the Curve
Crossfield Publishing is based in St. Marys, Ontario, Canada. Formerly located in Okotoks, Alberta (2000-2013), we are members of the Ontario Book Publishers Organization, an Ontario-based Canadian-owned group of 48 members.
Our first book Quin Kola: Tom Payne’s Search for Gold by Alice V. Payne, was published in 2000. The author was nominated for the Grant McEwen prize for non-fiction and Crossfield Publishing was nominated for Emerging Publisher of the Year. Since relocating to Ontario, we have published 6 titles. By the close of 2019, that number will have doubled.
Ernestine Crossfield, owner, is author of one full-length book, 2 academic theses, and numerous articles and chapters in other publications. She attended publishing classes at Concordia University in Montreal, and was a member of the Alberta Book Publishers Association and the Tri-Province Publishing Forum. Her academic background is diverse.
Crossfield Publishing’s goal is to produce 5 new titles per year. Our genres are open to discussion, and we strive to stay current and forward-thinking. We publish both fiction and non-fiction, and adhere to our mission of creating well-written, authentic, and truthful books. We are not an academic press; however, our books must contribute to our greater knowledge of a subject and appeal to a wide audience.
We are willing consider promising works that would not likely be published by any of the larger publishing houses. This gives new authors a chance to shine in this very competitive world.
