An Independent Publisher
Pencil Tip Publishing is a small independent Canadian publisher established in 2015.
We aim to produce the kinds of book that we want to read. Our books focus on genre and cult television, original fiction, short story collections, and, of course, Doctor Who.
We published our first book - "The Temporal Logbook" - in June 2015. From the proceeds for this and other books we have published we have raised funds for charitable causes including AIDS support, cancer research, and mood disorders.
