About the Press

Independent. On purpose.

We're a small publishing house championing fearless, character-driven books from emerging voices.

Unqualified Opinion Publishing is an independent press based in Windsor, Ontario. We launched with a simple idea: that small publishers can do what large ones often can't, spend real time with a manuscript, take a chance on an unknown voice, and let a book be exactly the size and shape it needs to be.

What we publish

We publish memoir, essay, and literary fiction, books with a clear point of view and the craft to back it up. We're drawn to writing that's honest, funny, well-observed, and unafraid of small subjects.

Our list is intentionally short. We'd rather publish a few books well than many books quickly.

“A small house with loud opinions about which stories deserve a careful first edition.”

How we work

Every title we publish gets meaningful editorial time, thoughtful design, and a real launch. Our authors keep their voice. We help them find the readers who've been waiting for it.

We work out of Windsor, Ontario. Head to our contact page for submission and partnership inquiries.
