What does it mean for a book to be fully Canadian-made? LPG publishers are committed to keeping Canadian stories, talent, and production close to home, checking all the boxes.

A graphic with text reading "Shopping for Canadian-Made Books? Check out this list of Canadian-owned presses" at the top with a list of 66 members of the Literary Press Group. There is a checkbox near the top outlining what makes a book entirely Canadian-made: Canadian publisher, Canadian author, designed and printed in Canada, and warehoused and distributed in Canada.

@mcduckillustration.bsky.social provided the super cool design for our t-shirt and tote bags from our '24 fest! We still have some left--plus fab copies of our 2024 Zine antho and lanyards, feat. art by @raysdrawlings.bsky.social! All proceeds go back to keeping PCF thriving~ prairiecomics.com/shop

An antique wooden table holds a red t-shirt with PRAIRIE COMICS FESTIVAL on it in white type, surrounded by vibrant pink and yellow book copies of Prairie Comic Zine 2024. A lanyard and a tote bag are displayed beside the shirt. A gold bridge lamp illuminates the scene. Large bookshelves, a desk, and a sofa are in the background, providing an office scene.

A greyscale sketch recreation of the movie poster for Speed. The one that's usually somewhere in an Applebee's. The poster has a bus bursting through a ball of flames on the right side, and on the left side is Keanu Reeves with a serious face. I have not drawn either of these details well

A white person is smiling and holding a "thumbs up" gesture. They are wearing a shirt that says "Michael Romance", a popular funny name for American rock band "My Chemical Romance".
