LAUNCH AGENDA

Our keynote speaker for the launch event will be Melanie J. Fishbane.

She teaches English and children’s literature in Toronto. Her YA novel, Maud: A Novel Inspired by the Life of L.M. Montgomery, was shortlisted for the Vine Awards for the best in Canadian Jewish Literature.  If you have not already read the book, Melanie will have some for sale during the event.  

Don Taylor, professional bookbinder (and founding member of CBBAG), will briefly speak about the Guild and his experience as a jury member for Kindred Spirits.
