There are many publishers in Canada; some of them are big traditional ones, while others are independent publishers or self-publishing services. Thus, it is impossible to define which one is the best, or which would be number one. Instead of striving to find that "best" publisher, most modern writers would find it beneficial to compare different publishers according to their needs: editing, distribution, royalty scheme, and time frame of publication. In this case, it can be said that the appearance of online book publishers is a great solution for authors who are tired of depending only on traditional publishing houses. Nowadays, there are many online book publishers that provide the author with all services needed for publishing: formatting, cover design, ISBN registration, marketing. Comparing a few of such online book publishers may prove to be more helpful than looking for one of the best of them.
