All Booked Up, with BIPOC of Pub!

GTA bookish people! Join us on Monday Nov 30th in downtown Toronto for a social and author showcase, in support of BIPOC of Pub ✨ Join us on Monday November 30th at It's OK* Studios for a social and author showcase, All Booked Up with BIPOC of Pub! Spend the night celebrating the BIPOC of Pub community, allies, authors, readers, and those in the book community who are invested in promoting an inclusive publishing industry. Enjoy light snacks and refreshments, peruse our raffle/silent auction table, ARCs, event bookseller offerings, commemorate the night at our photobooth, maybe spend some time at our bookish puzzle table, and hear from local BIPOC authors with books recently published or coming out soon that you can look forward to later in 2026 or beyond. Most importantly, join us to hang out with like-minded publishing and bookish individuals who want to uplift and support BIPOC authors, publishing workers, readers, and other members of the book community! All Booked Up with BIPOC of Pub is part of our fundraising events this fall raising money for our 2027 programming and beyond, including the Mentorship Program, networking events and mixers, and other professional development and social programming as part of our on-going efforts to provide a community space for BIPOC publishing workers and hopefuls to network, congregate, and form connections in an industry rife with systemic barriers that increasingly isolate those of us who come from marginalized communities. Stay tuned as we announce our author line up as well as give you a glimpse at our raffle/silent auction goodies over the next few weeks! Tickets to All Booked Up with BIPOC of Pub are PWYC (Pay-What-You-Can) starting at $20. Out of town or otherwise unable to join us but still want to support the work we do?
