Fernwood Publishing and Roseway Publishing are independent Canadian publishers that specialize in producing critical books that inform, enlighten, and challenge readers. While Fernwood Publishing primarily focuses on academic books that appeal to a general, educated readership, Roseway Publishing specializes in fiction and biographies. As political publishers, their books aim to confront and contest intersecting systems of oppression and exploitation, challenging the status quo and envisioning a more socially just world.

They proudly publish individuals and ideas that are often marginalized or ignored, giving dissent a voice in the face of corporate efforts to silence it. With a strong emphasis on the Canadian context, Fernwood Publishing also publishes a variety of genres, including criminology, aboriginal studies, women's studies, and political economy. Their dedicated team is committed to the publishing and political goals of social justice.

With over 900 titles published since 1992, Fernwood and Roseway Publishing continue to make a profound impact by encouraging critical readership and fostering conversations on social change
