Founded in 1982, Orca Book Publishers is an independently owned Canadian book publisher. With over 750 titles in print and more than 70 new titles a year, Orca publishes award-winning, bestselling books in a number of genres. Orca’s primary focus is on books for children, but in 2010 a series of adult novels—Rapid Reads—was added to the growing list.

In an increasingly fast-paced world there is a need for well-written, well-told books that can be read in one sitting. Rapid Reads are short books for adult readers. They are intended for a diverse audience, including ESL students, reluctant readers, adults who struggle with literacy and anyone who wants a high-interest quick read. Many of the Rapid Reads titles are mysteries, written by well-known and award-winning authors. For more information on Rapid Reads and submission guidelines visit rapid-reads.com.
