OwlCrate

OwlCrate is a beloved book subscription service that has become a staple in the reading community since 2015. What began as a Young Adult book box has expanded into multiple genres including Adult Fantasy, Romance, Romantasy, Sci-Fi, and Horror, serving bibliophiles who want more than just a book, they want an immersive reading experience.

Company History

OwlCrate was founded in 2015 by Korrina Ede in Edmonton, Canada, born from a passion for books and the desire to create a subscription service that would make readers feel truly special. Starting with Young Adult literature, the company quickly gained a devoted following for its exclusive editions featuring sprayed edges, custom dust jackets, and author signatures. The brand has since expanded significantly, adding OwlCrate Jr. for middle-grade readers and multiple adult genre subscriptions while maintaining the quality and attention to detail that earned its reputation.
