All Lit Up came about as a response from the members of the Literary Press Group to the changing ways readers discover, purchase, and read Canadian books.
The Literary Press Group, which manages All Lit Up, is a non-profit membership association of 60 independently-owned and -operated Canadian literary publishers. Since 1975, the LPG has helped its member publishers sell, distribute, and market their books to booksellers, libraries, institutions, and now, through All Lit Up, directly to readers.
The Literary Press Group of Canada greatly appreciates the support of the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Ontario Arts Council.
