Red Deer Press was founded in 1973 by Red Deer College (RDC) English and creative writing instructor Dr. Gary Botting as a vehicle for aspiring poets in the college's fledgling creative writing program,^[1] but it quickly expanded to publishing non-fiction titles^[2] and children's books.^[3] Initially subsidized by Red Deer College,^[4] in 2005, Red Deer Press was acquired by Toronto-based Fitzhenry & Whiteside.

Red Deer Press' books have received several literary awards over the years. For instance, Caroline Pignat's Greener Grass: The Famine Years won the 2009 Governor General's Award for English-language children's literature.
