Hey all! #CanadaFictionFest is looking for #authors from every part of #Canada to feature in our summer book showcase and author gallery, and that includes authors from all 3 territories. If you fit the bill, please consider joining us, and if you know someone else who does, please tell them about us! (Yes, you can share any of our posts on other platforms, please copy and paste the ALT text if you do.)

Check out our Author FAQ to learn how to participate! There is no cost to submit your books, and the whole event is online, so there's no travelling or accommodations you need to worry about. It's basically a great big online book fair dedicated to #Canadian fiction for all ages, and we're trying to shine a light on all the literary talent we have here!

Indie, tradpub, and hybrid authors are all welcome (and we do currently have a mix who have already submitted!)

If you're a Canadian author and you're not yet a member of the Writers' Union of Canada, check this out. They have all sorts of services, lectures, and professional discounts.

I’m a member of The Writers’ Union of Canada, and I’m writing to encourage you to join so that you too can benefit from the Union’s programs, services, and advocacy.

The Union is running a special refer-a-writer promotion until March 31. All first-time members receive 50% off their first year of dues, but when you use my promo code Shantell37424 in the application form, upon acceptance you will receive an extra free month of membership. When you use this code, I also get a free month of membership, so it’s a win-win!

TWUC advocates on behalf of writers’ collective interests, and delivers value to members through advocacy, community, and information. The Union believes in a thriving, diverse Canadian culture that values and supports writers.

I encourage you to apply for TWUC membership and help strengthen our collective: www.writersunion.ca/become-a-member. The promotion ends on March 31, so be sure to submit your application by that date.

You can find a list of membership benefits at www.writersunion.ca/become-a-member. And if you have questions about applying, TWUC staff are available at [email protected].

The Wolf That Wasn't

Farley Mowat's 1963 book 'Never Cry Wolf' changed public perception of wolves, portraying them as complex social animals, not just killers. The book remains controversial. While Mowat insisted it was non-fiction, critics have long alleged that he fabricated key events. The debate over its factual accuracy highlights the blurred line between narrative non-fiction and storytelling. #Canada #FarleyMowat #CanLit #Conservation
