About meHouse of Anansi Press was founded in 1967 by writers Dennis Lee and David Godfrey.

The company specializes in finding and developing Canada's great new writers of literary fiction, poetry, and nonfiction and in maintaining a culturally significant backlist that has accumulated since the house was founded 35 years ago.

Anansi started as a small press with a mandate to publish only Canadian writers, and quickly gained attention for publishing significant authors such as Margaret Atwood, Matt Cohen, Michael Ondaatje, and Erin Mouré, as well as George Grant and Northrop Frye.

French-Canadian works in translation have always been an important part of the list, and prominent Anansi authors in translation include Roch Carrier, Anne Hébert, Lise Bissonnette, and Marie-Claire Blais.

House of Anansi Press was purchased in June 2002 from Stoddart Publishing by Scott Griffin, founder of the prestigious Griffin Poetry Prize.

House of Anansi Press acknowledges the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Book Publishing Industry Development Program (BPIDP) for our publishing activities.
