The day is lined up with other exciting activities for all reading and writing enthusiasts, including but not limited to, a Book Fair, a Live Prose Feedback session with Dr. Ruth DyckFehderau and Frances Peck, and a Writing Space with coffee, tea and snacks.

The book fair will be supporting writers in any genre from any method of publication, encouraging avid readers to pick up books for themselves or a friend. Novice, aspiring and seasoned writers could also submit a sample of their work to obtain feedback from the authors that will be addressing the crowd on that day. Writers can submit a fiction or creative non-fiction piece of no longer than one page.
