Readabilities Publishing House is a Canadian company that was established by two women from Ottawa named Samantha Clusiau-Lawlor and Renée Tessier. Both Renée and Samantha are authors themselves. They started their enterprise because they discovered that there was a lack of children’s books available in the marketplace that featured neurodiverse characters. They decided they would create their own publishing house so that they could make a difference in that area.
Their goal is to remove the stigma surrounding different types of neurodiversity. They want to accomplish this by creating a series of educational books for children and their families that emphasize different neurodivergence. They are passionate about creating a space where individuality can be celebrated. With that in mind, they are interested in publishing authors with story ideas that match their mission. They also offer French translation services as one of their publishing options on their website. In addition, you can purchase their charming children’s books through their site.
