WHO WE ARE
About Us
Popcorn Paperbacks is a Canadian independent press that publishes books with a cinematic edge. We create stylish, film-inspired designs that pair striking, movie-poster-style covers with immersive novel-reading experiences.
Publishing both original works and classic novels, Popcorn Paperbacks gives every book a cinematic touch—treating each title like a feature presentation, from cover design to interior layout. Our goal is simple: to make books that feel as vivid, atmospheric, and unforgettable as the films that inspire them.
How it Started
Popcorn Paperbacks began in 2021, founded by author Andrew McManaman. The goal was simple: to create a publishing imprint where two lifelong passions—books and film—could come together. The imprint launched with McManaman’s debut novel, Dollhouse, released in 2021.
Mission
At Popcorn Paperbacks, our mission is to publish books with a cinematic edge that blend strong storytelling with stylish, film-inspired design. From original contemporary fiction to carefully curated classics, we treat every title as a complete creative experience, crafting books that feel immersive, atmospheric, and unforgettable. Every release is a feature presentation for the imagination.
