Does anyone have any tips on a publisher in Canada, the U.S. or Britain who might consider a Canadian Pacific Coast mystery novel. The more I look up Canadian publishers the more I find that have gone out of business or been absorbed by larger ones.
I'd tend to suggest trying to get an agent first, a good agent will know this stuff far better than anyone here
This would be a good list to start with: https://mysterywriters.org/how-to-become-a-member-of-mwa/approved-publisher-list/ I assume it will be US-heavy but there are publishers from other countries there. I believe Canadian publishers often get grants in return for publishing a certain % of Canadian authors, so it's probably in your interests to pitch to all the Canadian presses you can find. Another good place to start is see who published all your favourite mystery books, or go to a bookshop and see which publishers have books in the mystery sections. Good luck!
