Foreign Rights

With a catalogue of over 1700 titles, Boréal is a Canadian trade publisher active in international markets. Over the years, through direct distribution in Europe, co-editions, and the selling of translation rights, we have established a strong network of partners.

Some of our books have had great success on an international level, including Un dimanche à la piscine à Kigali (Gil Courtemanche) and La Petite fille qui aimait trop les allumettes (Gaétan Soucy), sold in over 20 countries.

Moreover, many titles such as Borderline (Marie-Sissi Labrèche), C’est pas moi je le jure! (Bruno Hébert) and Une belle mort (Gil Courtemanche) made it to the silver screen after their film rights were sold.

Boréal is also engaged in an important translation program (mainly Canadian writers), offering to our readers works by Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondatjee, Alice Munro, Charles Taylor, Jane Jacobs, Miriam Toews, Jonathan Franzen and many others.
