There is no entry fee and it will be a lot of fun :)
Prose in the Park is an initiative supported by various writing groups in Ottawa, including, among others, the Ottawa Independent Writers, the Capital Crime Writers, the Ottawa Romance Writers Association, the Ottawa Science Fiction Association and the National Capital Region Chapter of the Canadian Authors Association, the Ottawa Story Tellers and L'Association des Auteures et auteurs de l'Ontario français. It is also kindly supported by the Hintonburg Community Association and Economic Development Committee. Send us an e-mail at proseintheparkottawa@gmail.com, if you are interested in joining the organizing committee or be a volunteer for the event.
Prose in the Park is an established and emerging authors and publishers festival/book fair, similar to The Word On The Street Toronto Festival. You can expect to enjoy a tremendous line-up of panelists and dozens of booksellers. The venue in the Parkdale Market is right beside the Parkdate Market and three blocks away from the Transitway stops on Scott Street. There is also ample parking on the surrounding streets.
Bring your kids along! There will be a lot of illustrated children's books and graphic novels, and the playground in the park will be open for the kids.
There will be more 40 panelists and special events authors, including Giller Prize winner Vincent Lam, Governor General Award Winner Rosemary Sullivan, World Fantasy Award winner Charles de Lint, Aurora Science Fiction and Fantasy winner Julie Czerneda and several Arthur Ellis Crime Fiction Prize winners.
Finally, there will also be more than 100 local and other authors selling their books for book fair prizes.
