Hello #Bookstodon #ReadingCommunity! Fiction Fest is coming this summer and we have an AWESOME schedule of 36 different author readings and panel discussions that anyone with an Internet connection can attend for FREE! Check out our event page and register for whichever ones you're interested in at:
➡️ https://fictionfest.ca/events/
The event runs from June 21st to July 4th with multiple live sessions each day, and each of which feature 3 to 5 #Canadian authors. (But you don't have to be Canadian to attend any of the sessions, you just need an Internet connection! Everyone is welcome!)
We've got all your favourite fiction genres, covered, too: #fantasy, #horror, #scifi, #romance, #mystery and more.
I have personally been pouring all my non-day-job hours into putting this book fest together and doing everything I can to ensure it runs smoothly, so it would mean the world to me if you attended some of these sessions. You can also sign up for a general reminder email on the site's homepage and I'll let you know when Fiction Fest starts so you don't forget to check out our amazing showcase and author gallery!

Posting this here in the hope we can reach a few #authors on #bookstodon ... We now have authors participating in Fiction Fest from every part of Canada except Newfoundland & Labrador, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. We're still accepting sign ups from all provinces/territories, but If you are a Canadian author living in any of those 3 places, we would especially love to have you join us in our summer showcase.
This is a completely online/virtual event and it already has a really good mix of tradpub, indie and hybrid authors signed up. It comprises of a book showcase and author gallery, plus a roster of live author readings and discussion panels.
It's free to join, you don't need to provide copies of your books, and this is a grassroots cooperative effort that has all of us working together to shout out each other's books and #CanLit in general.
We are also accepting #Canadian illustrators of graphic novels and picture books (even if the text of the book they illustrated is not written by a Canadian).
Check out our Author FAQ for more details! ** Submissions close on May 1st. **

Heads up to fellow #Canadian authors! Want to be part of something BIG? Submissions just opened for the first-ever Canada Fiction Fest! Check out the author FAQ on the site for info on how to be a part of it. Event takes place June 21st - July 5th!
I have basically been working 2 full time jobs for the past month getting this ready for submissions, and recruited some other author friends to help test everything, and it is going to be SO COOL. If you're a Canadian fiction author (any age category, including picture books and graphic novels) who does NOT use AI, we'd love to have you join us!
