From its origin through 2016, the company published an average of 35 to 40 new titles a year, but expanded its output to 55 titles in 2017. Though their focus is somewhat narrowed to regard the Atlantic Provinces, the company publishes titles in a broad span of genres, including children’s picture books and fiction, non-fiction, history, nature photography, current events, biography, sports, and cultural issues.
It is the largest Canadian-English language publisher east of Toronto.[2]
In 2005, Nimbus introduced a new fiction imprint called Vagrant Press.[3] In 2012 owner John Marshall sold the company and general manager, Dan Soucoup retired. Two employees, Terrilee Bulger and Heather Bryan, bought the company in order to prevent acquisition by a larger publishing house.
In March 2018, the publishing house moved to a warehouse on Strawberry Hill Street in Halifax. At that time, a coffee shop and bookstore were added to the premises.[4]
