Get Involved

For 31 years, The Word On The Street has connected people from across Canada’s literary landscape: authors, publishers, booksellers, and anyone who champions a love of reading and storytelling. Whether you’re looking to present on a WOTS panel, exhibit in our marketplace, advertise with us, or volunteer your time, there’s a way for you to get involved!

Opportunity for Exhibitors: WOTS Weekly Features

We’re taking our marketplace in a different direction this year.

After careful deliberation, The Word On The Street has decided to run another all-virtual festival for 2021. This year, our marketplace has been reimagined for the virtual space: instead of the booth-style, 100+ vendor model you’re familiar with, WOTS is adapting to the online landscape with our WOTS Weekly Features project!

How it works

In a nutshell, WOTS Weekly Features offer a comprehensive promotional package for exhibitors including:

Placement in our dedicated e-newsletter and webpage;
Promotion on our social media channels; and
A chance to connect to audiences live with a 20-minute interview hosted on WOTS’ channels

Each week, WOTS will feature three (3) participating exhibitors organized around a central topic or theme, e.g. children’s literature, National Education Week, Pride Month, etc.

Our goal with the Weekly Features is to connect the public to the best books, magazines, & literary events this year has to offer. Whether you’re looking to boost book sales, recruit volunteers, or raise awareness for your mission/program lineup, we’re here to help!
