Welcome to the Robert J. Sawyer Books web site: Literate, cutting-edge, philosophically rich adult science-fiction titles personally selected by the “dean of Canadian science fiction”.
We publish two or three books a year, mostly, although not exclusively, by Canadian authors. Click here to listen to a podcast of an interview with Robert Sawyer on CFRB/CJAD radio, where he talks about the Sawyer imprint of books, editing books versus writing them, the status of science fiction writing in Canada today, among other issues.

"It's rare that a working writer of Sawyer's magnitude takes the time and energy to form his own small press to promote overlooked work by his own countrymen. So far, he's produced a slate of winners."
-- SciFi Weekly, Aug. 2007

Aug 27, 2007: Robert Sawyer has won China's top science-fiction prize, the Galaxy Award, in the category "Most Popular Foreign Author of the Year." The award, voted on by Chinese readers, is given for a body of work.

A Small and Remarkable Life nominated for major award!

I am Thrilled To Report That Nick Dichario's A Small And Remarkable Life has been short-listed for one of the world’s most prestigious awards in all of science fiction: The John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Novel of the Year.

The Campbell Memorial is the principal juried award in the field, bestowed by a blue-ribbon panel of American and British academics and authors.

This is the second award nomination for an RJS Books publication; the first, last year, was the Aurora Award -- Canada's top Science Fiction award -- for best short work in English, for "Alexander's Road," the one original story in Karl Schroeder's collection The Engine Of Recall:
