Independent Publishing & Original Brands
APE Brands is an independent Canadian publisher developing books and original brands across fiction, travel and practical knowledge.
About Ape Brands
APE Brands is the home of a growing catalogue of books and original brands.
We develop our projects from the first idea through writing, editorial development, design, production, publication and long-term distribution.
Our books and brands cover several very different subjects, but they share the same approach: develop useful or interesting ideas properly, produce them to professional standards and build them for the long term.
APE Brands does not provide publishing services or accept outside manuscripts. Our publishing operation exists to develop and support work created within the APE family of brands.
