The story
Founded by Gary Geddes in 1986.1
Cormorant Books was started in 1986 by a Canadian couple, Jan and Gary Geddes, on their farm outside of Dunvegan, Ontario. They focused on introducing new Canadian writers to the literary scene, focusing principally on poetry. In 1990, the company published Nino Ricci's novel Lives of the Saints, which went on to become one of the year's bestselling Canadian novels and to win the 1990 Governor General's Award for English-language fiction.
The company was sold to new owners in 2001. Now based in Toronto, publisher Marc Côté continues the tradition of publishing Canadian authors, including translations of Quebec writers.
