Broadview Press

In its early years, Broadview operated out of LePan's home in Peterborough, Ontario, publishing a small number of titles for both Trade and academic markets. With the publication of books such as The Broadview Anthology of Poetry, The Broadview Reader, and the first few titles in the Broadview Editions series in the early 1990s, Broadview began to focus exclusively on the academic market.

In May 2008, Broadview's social science and history lists were sold to the University of Toronto Press. Michael Harrison (Broadview Vice-president 1992–2004, and President 2005–2008) and several staff members went on to form the Higher Education division at that press. Broadview refocused on the core disciplines of English Studies and Philosophy, and LePan returned to the role of President and CEO. In 2013, Leslie Dema was appointed president and became responsible for most aspects of the company's operations (with LePan remaining CEO but increasingly focused on a limited number of anthology projects). Dema led the company through a period of unprecedented technological change, and through the upheaval of the pandemic of the early 2020s. She resigned in 2023 to pursue a career in university administration; Stephen Latta, who had served for many years as Broadview's Philosophy Editor, was appointed president in July 2023, with Marjorie Mather appointed Vice President (Editorial and Production) and Christine Handley appointed Vice President (Sales and Distribution).

Broadview Press Ltd., the corporate predecessor of today's Broadview Press Inc., was incorporated September 25, 1985; the company is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2025.
