Nimbus Publishing is the largest Canadian book publisher east of Toronto, Ontario. Our office and warehouse are in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We produce approximately 50 new titles a year on a range of topics including children’s picture books and fiction, literary non-fiction, social and cultural history, nature photography, sports, politics, and biography.

In 2005, we introduced our fiction imprint, Vagrant Press. Several novels published under Vagrant have since won awards and have been optioned for film. In 2012, Nimbus was awarded the Retail Council of Canada Small Press Publisher of the Year Award. In 2017, Publishers Weekly named Nimbus one of North America’s fastest-growing publishers.
