The Landscape of Literary Publishing in Canada
Saturday, March 11, 2023
9:00 am to 10:15 am
Get to know some of the leading lights of Canadian literary publishing who just happen to be independent presses too! Book*hug, Coach House, Drawn & Quarterly, and Invisible titles have been nominated for or won the Booker, Giller, Governor General's, Lambda, and many other awards. We'll answer questions like: What is it like to publish books in the USA while based in Canada? What are Canadians reading and writing? What do US publishers have to learn from Canadians?
