Canongate is an independent publisher: since
1973 we've worked to unearth and amplify the most vital, innovative
voices we can find, wherever they come from, and we've published
all kinds of books - thoughtful, upsetting, gripping, beatific,
vulgar, chaste, unrepentant, life-changing . . .
Along the way there have been landmarks of fiction - including
Alasdair Gray's masterpiece Lanark, and Yann Martel's
Life of Pi, the best-ever-selling Booker winner - and
non-fiction too. We've published an American president and a
Guantanamo detainee; we've campaigned for causes we believe in and
fought court cases to get our authors heard. And twice we've won
Publisher of the Year.
We're still independent, and we're as committed to unorthodox and
innovative publishing as ever.
