Quill & Quire

Description

Quill & Quire is the monthly magazine of the Canadian book trade. Its primary audience is publishers, booksellers, librarians, writers, students and educators, and other media in every province. With an average circulation of 5,000 copies per issue, Quill & Quire reaches an audience of over 25,000 readers. More than 6,000 copies of the magazine are sold on the newsstand each year.

Launched in 1935 by Wallace Seccombe's Current Publications, Quill & Quire's original editorial focus was on office supplies and stationery, with books taking on increasing importance only as Canada's fledgling indigenous book publishing industry began to grow and flourish. In 1971, Michael de Pencier purchased the magazine from Southam (who had bought it from Seccombe and owned it for just six months). Quill & Quire remained with de Pencier as part of the Key Publishers/Key Media stable for 30 years, until its sale last year (as part of a larger transaction involving Key Media) to St. Josephs Corporation, a Canadian-owned and -controlled printing and media company based in Concord, Ontario.

In-depth stories about the Canadian publishing industry, including author profiles. Recent articles include profiles of Giller Prize-winner Austin Clarke and Barbara Gowdy, the plight of Canadian school libraries, an industry salary survey, and a survey of Canadian distributors' service.
