Got to hang with these two titans of modern #Canlit at last week's @amazonca First Novel Award. Conor Kerr and Kyle Edwards are among the finest of Canada's many fine literary treasures.

An amazing night at the @glenngouldfndn gala last night to honour Sir Elton John with the 15th annual @glenngouldofficial prize.

And what a tribute it was. The joint was lousy with rabid fans, an incredible lineup of artists - @jdutchermusic! Sarah Maclachlan! @ronsexsmithmusic - and more. @thebeachesband The Bitch is Back was killer

So grateful to be on PEN Canada’s Advisory Board and to see the incredible authors on the 2026 New Voices Award jury. Support PEN Canada, an organization that defends freedom of expression, aids writers in peril around the world and celebrates the power of the written word

Two titans of Canadian literature in conversation for our first #BookTalk event of 2026 at @unionhotelto last night.

@susanswanauthor interviewed @jane_urquhart - one of the greatest writers of our times - about her novel 'In Winter I Get Up at Night', a bold and deeply moving work of imagination and self-inquiry

Bit h/t to @katherineashenburg for the question and answer

Nick Cave on the current moment facing the arts and artists. Culture should be 'a space for free-ranging and diverse ideas, a place of vitality and originality that encourages disagreement and good faith debate, (but that) is being sucked down the sinkhole of a single monolithic ideology — one voice, one cause, one dissent.

And what a time we had last night! A magical evening full of creative energy, communion, love and support. Writers, publishers, booksellers, donors and culture lovers came together to celebrate the finest of Canadian literature. The pictures tell a thousand stories.

@BobRae48 Welcome home, Bob.

They don’t call it the Giller Effect for nothing

[Elana Rabinovitch @ElyRobbins]

An outstanding year for Canadian writers and the @GillerPrize! Four of the five shortlisted titles are national bestsellers, and two landed on the @nytimes bestsellers list. Kudos to the jury for selecting these titles and congrats to the writers!

[Elana Rabinovitch @ElyRobbins]

Two literary titans. One intimate conversation.
Join us for a special interview as André Alexis speaks to Michael Redhill about his brand spanking new book 'The Trial of Katterfelto', at @Unionhotel Toronto on September 25th.
Tickets include a copy of Michael's new book - and a chance to chat with the author himself - a glass of wine, pastry item and hot beverage. https://t.co/tCWqyUs1R5

The @gillerprize is about so much more than one night a year. We promote Canadian authors and books year- round with our #cravingcanlit page; the Between the Pages tour takes authors across the country; the Giller Mantella BIPOC scholarship provides much-needed financial assistance to aspiring writers; our brand new #booktalk series in collab with @unionhotelto presents writers in an intimate setting devoted to local arts and culture, and our outreach into Canadian Colleges and Universities have resulted in Giller Prize courses.
The Giller Prize is so much more than just one night a year!
