The idea to make a publishing company in Canada came from the desire to help people, young and old, be interested in reading. The publisher wants to share how literature opened his mind to the world and all of its beauty; even in hardship.

So Lost Telegram Press was born from that idea and years of learning through the indie, D.I.Y. process.

The name Lost Telegram Press represents the idea of stories and pieces of information that, if not published, will run the risk of being lost to the world. Imagine the problems that could come from a telegram that had never been received; death notices, notes to loved ones, cryptic messages to resistance fighters and notes to a friend to not give up.

Lost Telegram Press also seeks to hold the ideals of archiving as its foremost goal. As the techniques of the printed word and communication; telegrams, books, written letters, pen pals, postcards, printing presses, hand printed posters and so on have become methods of the past, there has been certain values associated with the sincere labour, of hand producing a communication, that are being lost with time. This is why Lost Telegram Press hand-makes every book. It also recycles paper, board and whatever else needed to craft a book to make each one more unique as well as divert waste from the landfill.

Lost Telegram Press is where you can find thoughts and values that you only thought existed in the shadows of the local library.
