Welcome to the Robert J. Sawyer Books web site: Literate, cutting-edge, philosophically rich adult science-fiction titles personally selected by the “dean of Canadian science fiction”.
We publish two or three books a year, mostly, although not exclusively, by Canadian authors. Click here to listen to a podcast of an interview with Robert Sawyer on CFRB/CJAD radio, where he talks about the Sawyer imprint of books, editing books versus writing them, the status of science fiction writing in Canada today, among other issues.

"It's rare that a working writer of Sawyer's magnitude takes the time and energy to form his own small press to promote overlooked work by his own countrymen. So far, he's produced a slate of winners."
-- SciFi Weekly, Aug. 2007
