Begun in 1986 as a student collective at Montreal’s Concordia University under the name Nuage Editions, the press became a sole proprietorship in 1991 and was relocated to Winnipeg in 1998. In 2001 the press name was changed to Signature Editions.

We publish seven to ten titles a year in the genres of literary fiction and mysteries, non-fiction, poetry, and drama. Signature specializes in Canadian writing of literary merit, with a list that includes established writers as well as newcomers. Our books have been honoured with many awards and nominations, including Governor General’s Awards, Manitoba Book Awards, and the CAA Awards.
