About Us

Celebrated for its bold creative vision, lstw has earned a remarkable number of prizes at the National Magazine Awards in Toronto (including Best Magazine in 2023), cementing its reputation as a trailblazer in Canadian publishing. But its reach has never been confined by borders. lstw’s launch events have echoed across major cultural capitals, with memorable gatherings at iconic venues such as MoMA PS1 in New York, Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec in Montreal, and standout spaces in Paris, Los Angeles and Toronto that reflect its modern, urban ethos.

From glossy covers to global stages, lstw continues to push boundaries, amplify unique voices, and redefine the publishing experience for a new generation of readers.

Looking ahead, lstw is preparing to launch a series of new titles that explore bold new horizons—beginning with fresh, intersectional perspectives on sport.
