Five Rivers will be at Toronto’s Word on the Street again this year, Sunday, September 26, 2010, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

This year we’re in the publisher’s section, Booth 327, right at the corner of Hoskin Avenue and Queen’s Park Crescent West, across from an Information Booth, an ATM kiosk and the World’s Food Market.

The highlight of our day will be the launch of Alicia Hendley’s debut novel, A Subtle Thing. Alicia will be on hand to answer questions and sign copies from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.

Author Nate Hendley (Motivate to Create and Al Capone: Chicago’s King of Crime) will also be on hand throughout the day, as will Lorina Stephens (Shadow Song, From Mountains of Ice and And the Angels Sang).

We will have some great bargain books in our Twoonie Box, as well as discounted prices on all current titles.

Word on the Street has been in existence since 1990, with the first festival sprawling across the Queen and Spadina region of Toronto. It was originally created as a vehicle to promote Canadian authors, books, magazines and literacy, and the concept for the Toronto Book and Magazine Fair grew out of the Promotions Committee of the Book and Periodical Council.

The festival has grown from a small festival of 40,000 booklovers to become Canada’s largest, annual book and magazine festival. Despite attracting more than 200,000 visitors annually, the festival has remained true to its original mandate: to foster the awareness and appreciation of the written word in our culture, promote local artists, and champion literacy as an essential element of a healthy community.

Hope to see you in Toronto, Sunday, September 26, Booth 327.
