Metonymy is a Montreal-based press that publishes literary fiction and nonfiction by emerging writers. We try to reduce barriers to publishing for authors whose perspectives are underrepresented in order to produce quality materials relevant to queer, feminist, and social justice communities.

Our critically recognized, award-winning catalogue of daring and unconventional genres showcases marginalized voices. Metonymy’s choices of authors and genres arise from our commitment to aesthetic and editorial excellence, and we seek work that transgresses boundaries and undermines the status quo. Based in Quebec, we produce English-language queer literature in a context in which it is otherwise scarce.
