The Authors’ Gathering is a warm, literary networking event and growing author community in the Greater Toronto Area for aspiring, self-published, and traditionally published authors, as well as editors, coaches, designers, audiobook professionals, and other publishing industry creatives. This event is designed to help writers and book professionals connect, collaborate, promote their work, and build meaningful relationships within the publishing industry.

Held at Heintzman House just north of Toronto, The Authors’ Gathering offers a welcoming and interactive atmosphere where guests can network with fellow authors and industry professionals, share their books and businesses, gain visibility, and discover new opportunities within the literary world. Each attendee has the opportunity to take the floor and introduce themselves and their work to the room, making the experience highly engaging and community-focused.

 

As one of Ontario’s top growing author networking events, The Authors’ Gathering supports independent authors, traditional publishing professionals, and emerging writers looking to grow their audience, expand their professional network, and become part of a supportive literary community.
