James M. Fisher began The Seaboard Review (TSR) after spending ten years creating The Miramichi Reader (TMR), a successful Canadian book review site.1
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. Others joined, happy to find a friendly space to promote Canadian literature2 through book reviews. We are a small team of dedicated reviewers who love to read and review books, especially those from independent, small-press publishers.

As of 2024, it is under new ownership, and is a separate, unconnected entity to TSR.
We do occasionally review “international” books, but the focus of our mission is Canadian authors and small presses.
