Reading allows us to travel and explore the furthest reaches of imagination. Find your way home in these books, featuring Northern Ontario and Northern Ontario’s literary voices.
Wordstock Sudbury Literary Festival has been supporting and inspiring Northern readers, writers, and lovers of words for ten years. Making CanLit accessible to those in the north is central to our mission, and many of the authors featured in this reading list have attended Wordstock as guests, participants, and volunteers. Reading local is one way to find and celebrate the talent right here in our Northern community.
