About Wild Coast Publishing

Wavelength Magazine is published by Wild Coast Publishing, a small family-operated company based in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, strategically located near some of the best kayaking locations on the planet. Wild Coast Publishing sells books, produces magazines including Wavelength Magazine and a variety of tourism publications and promotional materials from brochures to maps, including the BC Coast Recreation Map and Trip Planner series. The company was founded by author John Kimantas. Wavelength Magazine's origins go back a bit farther to Gabriola Island and Alan Wilson and Peter Marcus about 20 years ago. In fact, we're celebrating our 20th anniversary in 2011.
