Are you coming to The Word On The Street Festival? Come say Hi!
This year, The Word On The Street Festival—one of Canada's biggest book festivals—will be in a new location, and I've decided to have a booth...again!

It's been a while since I've chatted with so many visitors from my own booth. Now, equipped with a 'shiny' new website, banner, and postcards, I feel much more comfortable talking to strangers.
It's an introvert thing: we need to find something that makes us feel at ease to show up with confidence. Otherwise, why show up at all? It would project a poor image that serves no one.
So, are you visiting The Word On The Street Toronto Festival this year?
-
Where: David Pecaut Square, near Metro Hall in downtown Toronto
-
When: September 27-28, 2025
- Details: https://toronto.thewordonthestreet.ca/
I'll update this blog post once I receive my booth number and specific location.
And I'll have more books on my booth at this festival, not just the three from the image (which I showcased at a recent presentation I did on job search for introverts).
Until Then, I'm Curious:
Do you enjoy visiting book festivals like this?
If so, why?
If not...why not? :-)
