Laberinto Press, based in Edmonton, Alberta, is making significant strides in the Canadian publishing scene by focusing on hyphenated Canadian literature and world literature in translation. Founded in 2020 during the pandemic, Laberinto Press has rapidly grown, publishing nearly 45 hyphenated-Canadian authors.
