Read Local BC was excited to participate in Word Vancouver again this year—check out our gallery of photos.
The Association of Book Publishers of BC exhibited in the Independent Publishers tent, handing out Read Local BC pins and stickers. We hosted two events: Kids Read Local with Nicola I. Campbell, Jen Sookfong Lee, David Starr, and Irene N. Watts & Kathryn E. Shoemaker, and our official launch of this year’s Poetry in Transit with Adèle Barclay, Wendy Donawa, Rhonda Ganz, Ulrike Narwani, Jeff Steudel, and Onjana Yawnghwe.
