Writerly Life Toronto Monthly: Feb 2015

4/4/2015

0 Comments

 
It has been a busy February and March for me both on the personal and the writerly front.  I have had the opportunity to attend writing and literary events here in Toronto and Brampton, a city in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).  I have met exciting writers and attended events in February and March, 2015.  There was the Afrofuturism panel with author Ytasha Womack and others organized by A Different Booklist, the Toronto Urban Book Expo (TUBE) organized by Kya Publishing, and the first information session of the Festival of Literary Diversity (FOLD) held at Knowledge Bookstore.  It is wonderful to be a part of the literary scene in the city I called home (and a vibrant one at that).  As I spend more time in the literary scene, I have intentionally connected with other writers and forged exchanges through membership in writers' organizations and attending events.  One example of this is when I found that I did not personally know any Black writers in Canada focussed on writing and illustration for children and young adults so I founded African-Canadian Writers for Children and Young Adults (ACWCYA).  ACWCYA is one of the literary communities that I belong to and our facebook page consist of 50+ members who reside in Canada and the US.  Writing is a solitary act but it does not have to be.  Please stay tuned for my research adventures in Quebec City and writerly life NYC.
