It's been a week since we all gathered at UBC Robson Square for panels, workshops, and kinship.

The day could not have happened without the team behind it, starting with Bonnie and leading to every person who attended.

🎉to another year of celebrating literature in BC!

Well, that was a wonderful week of celebrating literature with our community.

It would not have been possible without the support of our partners. Big thank you to all of these organizations who make Word happen.

Thank you to @wordvancouver.bsky.social for an amazing day at Robson Square. Your organizational efforts are much appreciated here at Anvil. The book fair vibe was chill and buzzy at the same time - so fun to chat all day with authors, book lovers, colleagues, and more! We can't wait till next year!
