Overview

Metonymy Press is a Canadian publisher founded in August 2014 by Ashley Fortier and Oliver Fugler. It publishes queer, feminist literary fiction and nonfiction, as well as poetry, a guidebook, and a children's picture book. The press is community-based and DIY, publishing one to four books a year since 2015.

History

Metonymy Press was launched in August 2014, at a reading event following that year's Queer Between the Covers book fair, part of the Pervers/Cité (the underside of Pride) program. The press was founded by old friends Ashley Fortier and Oliver Fugler, who have remained the owner-operators for the first 10 years. Metonymy Press has published one to four books a year starting in 2015, with a plan to publish queer, feminist literary fiction and nonfiction, and has assembled a catalogue that includes these forms and formats as well as poetry, a guidebook, and a children's picture book.
