About

It is a well-worn cliché to say it takes a village, but behind every writer there is a publishing team helping to transform their concept, stories, and ideas into a finished book. As a writer’s career develops, what are the opportunities for other individuals in the industry to develop? How can Canada continue to grow a thriving future literary ecosystem? And what role can those in the industry play as that landscape evolves? Featuring publishing professionals and leaders across the industry, this panel will explore how careers in publishing can begin and build.
