History
Wolsak and Wynn was founded in 1982 by the Canadian poets Heather Cadsby and Maria Jacobs in Hamilton, Ontario, originally publishing only poetry.[1] By 2003, Wolsak and Wynn was releasing about six books per year.[2] After Cadsby and Jacobs retired in 2007, Wolsak and Wynn was purchased by Noelle Allen, who had worked for the publisher for multiple years beforehand.[3] After Wolsak and Wynn was purchased by Allan, its scope was expanded to include fiction, non-fiction, and translations.[4] Books published by Wolsak and Wynn have won awards such as the Scotiabank Giller Prize and multiple Governor General's Literary Awards.[5]

Wolsak and Wynn launched their imprint Buckrider Books in 2014, with Paul Vermeersch as senior editor.[6] Other imprints of the publisher include James Street North Books and Poplar Press.[7]
