CBU Press Publishing Update

In 2014, in the face of a host of larger issues facing the University, the decision was made to terminate CBU Press effective June 2017.. There will be future publications on an ad hoc basis, under co-publication arrangements. Projects already in the works have been fulfilled, and responsibility for all books in print were taken over by the Press’s long-time distribution partner, Nimbus Publishing of Halifax, ensuring that books remain available and authors receive royalties.

After forty-plus years covering Cape Breton, it was time for others to work with creators to bring the Island’s considerable literary talents to the world.
