WELCOME TO NORTHERN QUILL PUBLISHING

Our journey began with a shared passion for books, written stories, and the Northwest Territories. We are a small team dedicated to helping to share, celebrate and create space for writing from the diverse voices of the NWT. We invite communities from across the NWT to join us in this journey, working together to create, publish, and celebrate stories that entertain, enlighten, and educate readers both within the NWT and beyond.

FEATURED BOOKS

Discover our latest NWT tales! These recent releases highlight unique voices and stories of the NWT, reflecting rich cultures, landscapes, and experiences. As we release new stories, we invite authors from across the territory to join us in expanding our diverse collections.
