Until 2016, the company published an average of 35 to 40 new titles a year, but expanded its output to 55 titles in 2017. The company publishes in a broad span of genres including children’s picture and fiction books, non-fiction, history, nature photography, current events, biography, sports, and cultural issues.

It is the largest Canadian-English language publisher east of Toronto.[2]

In 2005, Nimbus introduced a new fiction imprint called Vagrant Press.[3] In 2012, owner John Marshall sold the company and general manager Dan Soucoup retired.[4] Two employees, Terrilee Bulger and Heather Bryan, bought the company in order to prevent acquisition by a larger publishing house.[4]

In March 2018, the publishing house moved to a warehouse on Strawberry Hill Street in Halifax. At that time, a coffee shop and bookstore were added to the premises.[5]
