Join us for the launch of Play by Jess Taylor (Book*hug Press) on Tuesday, April 23. The event will be at Type Books Junction starting at 6pm and will feature a conversation with Marta Balcewicz, author of Big Shadow, with special musical guest Jenny Berkel.

Toronto Lit Up is a multi-year initiative, started in 2016 by the Toronto International Festival of Authors and the Toronto Arts Council, to spotlight Toronto writers and empower local artists with career-building opportunities. Between April 2016 and March 2024, Toronto Lit Up has presented over 200 events featuring over 250 Toronto authors and illustrators. Toronto Lit Up book launches take place throughout the year at venues across the city. They are open to the public and free to attend. Click here for more information.

This event will be followed by a book signing.
