Enter to Win an Epic 10 Book Prize Pack from The Word on the Street

On June 11 and 12, The Word on the Street will return to Queen's Park, a former cite of the beloved book festival. Two full days of readings, panels, workshops, book and magazine sales, literary gift shopping, and tasty street food will act as an unofficial kick off party for a return to live literary events in Toronto after two long years of virtual-only events. And for folks who need or prefer to attend from home, there will still be plenty of livestream options available.

To celebrate WOTS 2022, we're partnering with the festival to offer a whopper of a contest: a ten-book prize pack featuring books by writers appearing at the festival. Do not miss this one—it's one of our biggest contests ever and we're excited to put this (heavy!) stack in the hands of one lucky winner.
