With/out Pretend is a Toronto-based publishing company managed by a small team of passionate humans. We love talking about our feelings, long walks at sunset and wondering about the future.

Today, With/out Pretend is a "break even" project, which means we often spend more on making a book than we make back, largely due to the cost of quality printing with local, values-aligned suppliers. We are primarily funded by patrons and private donors, like you.
