All Lit Up is a discoverability engine and online book retail space for readers of emerging, quirky, and unabashedly Canadian literature. Forty publishers from across Canada, all members of the Literary Press Group, feature titles on All Lit Up.
Readers can find and purchase the best books this countryโs independent publishers have to offer, as well as browse through our exclusive behind-the-scenes content about the books, authors, and publishers whose work is available on our site.
The Literary Press Group, which manages All Lit Up, is a not-for-profit membership association of 66 independently-owned and -operated Canadian literary publishers. Since 1975, the LPG has supported the growth of Canadian literary culture by helping its member publishers sell, distribute, and market their books to booksellers, libraries, institutions, and through events and 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.
The books featured on All Lit Up are published by members of the Literary Press Group. If you are interested in joining the Literary Press Group, please visit the LPG website to view our membership criteria.
You donโt need to be a member to advertise on All Lit Up, though we do have certain advertising guidelines. The gist is that the ad should be for something Canadian and/or literary (preferably โandโ!).
Interested in advertising? Contact Lauren, our Engagement Manager, at lauren@lpg.ca.
