Spring is upon us and hopefully some of us have had a chance to spend some time on writing! Fiction, non-fiction, and poetry writers are all welcomed to share a published piece or work-in-progress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reserve your spot as a reader, please email CAA-Toronto branch President JF Garrard with the subject line \u201cApril open mic and your name.\u201d Her email address is \u201chello at jfgarrard.com\u201d. Email by June 23, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All are welcome to attend, and we hope you\u2019ll invite friends and family to join the audience.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: We are requesting readers to present works that do not have any mentions of extreme violence, rape, incest and other uncomfortable situations. Thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, we welcome your\nfeedback on all of our activities. Email co-president Lee Parpart at TOpresident1@canadianauthors.org<\/a> with\ncomments, questions, or ideas about our programs and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re working to expand the number of writing circles that we can offer to members. We\u2019re looking for branch members to launch and moderate new Authors\u2013Toronto writing circles outside of the<\/a> downtown core. Our Annex Writing Circle meets the second Thursday of every month at the CSI Annex and is at capacity, but we are open to working with new members to start another monthly group at the same location. Please email Lee at TOpresident1 at canadianauthors.org for more details about writing circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you know any writers who are not already members of Canadian Authors Association, please talk to them about the benefits of joining. To join Canadian Authors Association or renew your membership, click here.
