As one of its leading organizers, Canadian Business Daily works hard to make this three-day event an experience to remember for all participants, be it the exhibitors representing the Canadian book publishing industry or the authors looking to find a new audience or build a professional network. And even if you are neither a writer nor a publisher, you can still visit the book fair as a general reader and immerse yourself inCanada’s expanding literary community from the country’s diverse cultural backgrounds,including the LGBTQ communities.

Everyone knows the most famous names in Canadian writing, especially those authors who have achieved international renown. But Canadian authors are not limited to Margaret Atwood, Yann Martel,and Alice Munro. Who are the new writers in Canada today?
