Our Imprint

At Hawthorn Quill Publishing, we curate timeless stories that connect with the heart. Rooted in nature, community, and seasonal storytelling, our books reflect the magic of growing up and the wisdom found in everyday moments. Through carefully crafted narratives, we bring readers into vibrant worlds—whether it’s a small village nestled in chestnut groves or a fantastical realm where destiny unfolds.

Our Focus

We are an independent, boutique publisher dedicated to original works in the following genres:

Children’s Literature: Picture books, early readers, and chapter books that invite children to experience nature, friendship, and growing up with empathy and joy.

Middle Grade Fiction: Literary stories with moral depth and personal growth, set in richly imagined, often adventurous or nature-infused worlds.

Young Adult Fiction: Epic fantasy and heartfelt coming-of-age tales for teens, exploring the balance between destiny, family, and self-discovery.

Bilingual Fiction Series: Offering a collection of bilingual reader series to help readers enjoy the magic of storytelling in two languages.

Our stories are rooted in the values of community, integrity, and storytelling that endures. Each title in our catalogue is chosen with care and a deep respect for our readers, ensuring that every book we publish nurtures imagination and fosters a sense of belonging.

Our Process

At Hawthorn Quill, we maintain a hands-on approach to every stage of the publishing process. From conceptualization and writing to editing, design, and production, we ensure each step reflects our commitment to quality and our unique creative vision.

While we currently focus on publishing select original works, we are always looking toward the future. As we grow, we seek out like-minded authors whose stories align with our mission. For now, we are dedicated to publishing a carefully curated catalogue of books that reflect our values and passion for literary storytelling.

Our Commitment

Quality over quantity: We believe in publishing fewer, stronger titles that have lasting value.

Support for literacy and education: Our books are crafted with care for readers and educators alike.

Long-term sustainability: We are committed to producing books that can be enjoyed for generations.

Proudly Canadian: We are committed to supporting Canadian authors and illustrators.
