Every year, The Word On The Street festivals across Canada welcome some of the best authors in Canada. They come to read from their books, lead workshops and share their vision, celebrating the written word and the vibrancy of Canadian literary culture. Help us in our efforts to showcase the rich diversity of Canada’s literary community by participating in our Adopt an Author campaign!

How does it work?

 Make a $100 contribution in support of The Word On The Street Toronto and “adopt” one of our featured authors for the day. You’ll be able to select from a comprehensive list or you can let us select an author for you.

The benefits are great! You'll receive: 

• A tax receipt for your charitable donation
• A copy of your author’s book
• Your name announced at your author’s reading
• A personalized certificate
• Acknowledgement on The Word On The Street Toronto’s website
• A chance to be a part of Canada’s largest one-day literary festival!

The Adopt an Author program is a great way to be a part of Canada’s largest one-day literary festival. Individuals can adopt as many authors as they like, and authors may be available for more than one adoption subject to availability. You can adopt an author for yourself, a friend or have your book club join the fun. Companies can also use the program as a unique marketing tool or as an employee recognition award. It’s easy. It’s inexpensive. It’s a fun way to support The Word On The Street Toronto. So what are you waiting for? Join in the celebration and adopt an author at The Word On The Street Toronto today!

The deadline to adopt is Sunday, September 13, 2009.
