The Book and Periodical Council was formed in 1975 as the Book and Periodical Development Council to provide a venue for members to discuss industry issues, address mutual concerns and undertake projects for the benefit of Canadian writing and publishing.
As the umbrella organization for associations involved in the writing and editing, publishing and manufacturing, distribution and selling and lending of books and periodicals in Canada, the BPC works to raise public awareness through initiatives relating to reading, writing, publishing, distribution and freedom of expression. See Programs and Services.
One of the primary goals of the Book and Periodical Council is to function as a forum for its member associations to network, identify common goals and coordinate action to benefit the Canadian writing and publishing industry.
Our full members represent approximately 6,000 individuals and 5,500 firms and institutions. Our associate members represent an additional several thousand individuals, firms and institutions.
