Celebrate the launch of Swift Water Books, a new Indigenous publishing imprint with Penguin Random House Canada, at the Festival of Literary Diversity. Designed for high school students, the session explores why Indigenous-led publishing matters, discusses the coming-of-age story through an indigenous lens and opens up conversations around the barriers Indigenous writers face in the publishing industry. The event will take place at Brampton’s Rose Theatre and features acclaimed author David A. Robertson alongside Kim Spencer, one of the first authors published under the imprint, in conversation.
This event is held at the Rose Theatre at 1 Theatre Ln in downtown Brampton.
