Canadian Authors for Indies Day, April 30: Monty Reid, Pearl Pirie etc

Authors for Indies Day (Saturday, April 30, 2016) is a day when authors show their appreciation for Canadian independent bookstores (indies). We do this by volunteering as guest booksellers for the day. When you visit an indie bookstore on AFI Day, you'll have the opportunity to meet local authors, chat with us booklover to booklover, and get book recommendations from us. Perhaps share your recommendations with us. You may buy a book or two, or just get to know your local bookstore better.

Authors are doing this to raise awareness of indie bookstores and how important they are to our communities, our reading lives, and our cultural well-being. It's a day to give some love to your local neighbourhood bookstore. 

Chaudiere authors participate in this year's Authors for Indies Day over at Perfect Books (258A Elgin Street, Ottawa)! Pearl Pirie and Monty Reid join a whole slew of Ottawa writers at Perfect Books this Saturday. Check out the list of authors and schedule below:
