About Us

The Miramichi Reader was founded in 2015 by James Fisher. Today, it is run by the above editorial team, led by Emma Rhodes and Sarah Marie. The Miramichi Reader publishes more than 100 reviews a year of excellent Canadian writing. Our goal is to make reviewing culture accessible for both reviewers and readers, without pay walls. We especially like East Coast Canadian writing; and books that are fresh, new, radical and boundary-pushing.

If you’re interested in pitching a book to us for review, or if you want to contribute, please email Emma Rhodes or Sarah Marie at emma@miramichireader.ca or editor@miramichireader.ca, respectively. Find more information at our Contact Us page.
