Broken Keys Publishing & Press is proud to announce, we have won the 2024 Ottawa Awards in the category of Ottawa's Best Printing Company, and we mean it quite literally when we say "we."
This is a team and group effort; a community. This is the recognition and support from an extensive list of individuals, companies, subcontractors, authors, poets, writers, models, narrators, radio and TV personalities, photographers, editors, happy clients, bookstores, and the list goes on and on.
With over 37 years background in the print/publishing industry, we are proud to be part of this city's literary and print landscape. It is our endeavour to bring quality service, print material, and most importantly, literature and printed books into our stores, and into our authors' hands. To help guide our up-and-coming writers, authors, and poets safely and profitably through the print and publishing landscape, to help support readership and steer booklovers towards our local bookshops, and to foster a responsible and healthy environmental footprint.

I am sure this list isn't complete nor extensive, and if I've missed you, my most sincere apologies.
It has been 2-1/2 years since we fully expand into printing with the new imprint of Broken Keys Publishing & Press. Launched in September 2021 we have been recognized year after year for our work ethic and quality and service, and this is in no small part to everyone involved with us. This is truly Ottawa's literary landscape's award. This is a sign of progress and positive change.
As of March 2024 we will be shifting into and promoting Sustainable Publishing.
