PHOENICIA PUBLISHING is interested in words and images that illuminate culture, spirit, and the human experience. We publish poetry, non-fiction, fiction, music, photography and art. A particular interest is on writing and images about travel between cultures — whether literally, through lives of refugees, immigrants, and travelers, or more metaphorically and philosophically — with the goal of enlarging our understanding of one another through universal and particular experiences of change, displacement, disconnection, assimilation, sorrow, gratitude, longing and hope.

We are committed to the innovative use of the web and digital technology in all aspects of publishing and distribution, and to making high-quality works available that would have difficulty being published by traditional means. We work closely with our authors, and are pleased to be able to offer them a larger share of royalties than is possible in traditional publishing.

Phoenicia Publishing is based in Montreal.
