Baseline Press is a Canadian poetry micro-press. Since 2011, we have been creating limited edition, hand-sewn chapbooks for both new and established poets.

Our 2026 roster features poetry by John Barton, Annick MacAskill, Jaeyun Yoo, Susan Gillis, and Sophia Cirignano.

We work with a rotating list of manuscript editors. Some upcoming/recent names include Anita Lahey, Laurie Graham, Cassidy McFadzean, Puneet Dutt, Sanna Wani, and Sandra Ridley.

Our 2026 cover artists include Jessica Brown, Emily Jung, and Chloe Majenta.

We are currently closed for submissions. Please check back for updates.

Baseline operates out of what is colonially known as London, Ontario, which is the ancestral, traditional and unceded homeland of the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee, and the Leni-Lunaape peoples. We are grateful to live and work here.

We would also like to acknowledge the generous funding provided by the London Arts Council through the City of London's Community Arts Investment Program. Baseline could not do what it does without this support.
