Upstart & Crow is a not-for-profit literary arts studio and bookstore that champions writers, readers and stories, and the role they play in shaping our lives. We hold literary events, writer residencies and workshops in our studio space.

Our collection includes a large range of titles from independent and small presses in Canada and the U.S., alongside international fiction. Life’s too short to read the same thing as everyone else. Let us help find books that belong with you.
