Once upon a time, Canada's largest book festival decided to go virtual. This is our story.
We hope you enjoy our #WOTS2020 livestream programming, digital marketplace, and interactive Discord channel, but we're just getting started!
Here's how you can help us champion literacy and promote great writing by Canadian and Indigenous authors year-round:

Sign up for our newsletter: signup.e2ma.net/signup/1879562/1351170
We'll miss seeing you in person, but keeping our community safe is our top priority. Thank you for supporting our team this year and helping us to celebrate the hard work of Canadian and Indigenous authors, publishers and booksellers.
