We welcomed 40 authors!
Posted at 12:55 pm
Feb 1stWhen our website launched on January 1, 2020, we set 15 authors as a goal (including the two of us!) for the month. We ended with 40! Forty amazing authors from across Canada.
As Canadian authors and readers ourselves, we wanted to support Canadian book publishers and authors who worked and lived in Canada. We wanted to create a community that was welcoming and inclusive with authors from big and small publishing houses, and authors at different stages of their professional writing careers.
We thank all the authors who have joined The Authors’ Book Club. We could not have done this without you! A special thanks to Uzma Jalauddin, Laurie Petrou, Marissa Stapley, Blair Hurley, and Farzana Doctor who were among the first authors to support this initiative. Thank you for leading the way! We also want to thank Deborah Dundas from the Toronto Star and Sue Carter from Quill & Quire for helping to generate awareness of what we are doing.
As we continue to welcome authors, we will now focus on increasing our visibility amongst private book clubs. We remain committed to creating a vibrant online community for author and reader engagement.

Welcome Fiona!
Posted at 8:48 pm
Jan 13thAs two authors working to bring readers and authors together, we felt it was vital that we have someone representing the reader and book club as part of our team. To that end, we welcome Fiona Ross to The Authors’ Book Club.
Fiona is an avid reader, a teacher librarian, and a current member of two book clubs. She is also the past chair of the Secondary Fiction Review Committee at the Peel District School Board and currently serves on the planning committee at the Festival of Literary Diversity (FOLD).
We look forward to Fiona’s input and her unique perspective as a reader and book club member. We are confident that her contributions will further support our efforts to connect readers with authors across Canada.
