“Embark on a Journey to Uncover Great Reads”

James M. Fisher began The Seaboard Review (TSR) after spending ten years creating The Miramichi Reader (TMR), a successful Canadian book review site. It was so successful that James could no longer manage it on his own, so he handed it over to a new crew.

Still wanting to promote good books, James created TSR on the Substack platform and was fully prepared to carry on as a “solo” act. However, several contributors from TMR decided to leave there for various reasons and come over to TSR. We are a small team of dedicated reviewers who love to read and review books, especially those from independent, small-press publishers.
