The Brockton Writers Series (BWS) is a bi-monthly literary reading series founded in the west-end Toronto neighbourhood of Brockton in November 2009, and now held at Glad Day Bookshop, 499 Church St. Our vision for the series is to host writers who reflect Canadian literature and Canadian diversity. Our definition of diversity includes: established and emerging writers, writers of colour, queer and trans writers, younger and older writers, Black and indigenous writers, writers with disabilities, and other writers who might not always have the platform to showcase their work.
Brockton Writers Series presents readings by:
Paola Ferrante
Jeffrey Luscombe
David Demchuk
Chelene Knight
with guest speaker Madeline Ashby
Special note: As we adapt with current social distancing regulations, weβre happy to announce our event will be hosted in-person at the Glad Day Bookshop, located at 499 Church St., Toronto. We will also live stream the event on the Brockton Writers Series YouTube channel! The event starts at 6:30 p.m.
The reading is PWYC (suggested $3-$5) and features a Q&A with the writers afterward. Books are available for sale.
