Think Local: Independent Canadian Publishers and You
Tuesday, June 21 – TODAY!
12pm PT, 1pm MT, 2pm CT, 3pm ET, 4pm AT, 4:30pm Newfoundland
Independent publishers operate in communities across the country and offer an exciting mix of diverse titles that cut across genres. At the forefront of new Canadian writing and local storytelling, indie publishers produce books that can be a competitive advantage: local authors, unique stories, Canadian content.
Presented by the Association of Canadian Publishers (ACP), this panel discussion will introduce CIBA members to a few of the publishers working in Canada today and will explore how our respective sectors can work together to mutual benefit.
Who should attend? CIBA Bookseller Members who want to engage with independent publishers in Canada. ACP members will also receive a special code to register.
Moderator: Kate Edwards, Executive Director, ACP
