On December 9, we (Perspective book series authors Amanda Giasson and Julie B. Campbell) will be featured authors at the Barrie Public Library’s 2023 Local Author Book Market 📚. Alongside other talented local authors, we’ll be selling our books (adult/teen and kids’ books) and gift sets. We’ll also be giving a quick Lightning Talk about our Perspective series and the unique way we write it together.
Enjoy a free, family-friendly, festive-themed day that is fun for everyone who loves books and wants to meet and support local authors!
In addition to the author lighting book talks, families can enjoy picture book readings between 11am – 2pm with local authors. Plus, if you’re an eco-conscious reader, you can check out what our local used bookstore has by local authors and for writers and local historians.
As for Perspective books, here’s a look at all the goodies you’ll find when you visit our table!
Kids’ Books? We’ve Got Kids’ Books!
Got a little one in your life who loves to read or be read to? Do you love children’s books? We’ve got your gift giving covered!
