So, I did my very first author visit in a school this week, with a couple of classes that are doing my book, River of Crows, as a novel study. It was an evening event and I was the special mystery guest for a live recording of their class podcast (they hadn't been told that I would be there). Check out this segment, in which a bunch of sock puppets discuss my book. π

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. **
