9th Annual Gaspereau Press Wayzgoose

The ninth annual wayzgoose will be held in Kentville Oct. 24 and 25.

The Gaspereau Press wayzgoose is an annual event that got underway in 2000, just a few years after the press was first established. Since its inaugural year, the Gaspereau Press wayzgoose has grown into a weekend-long celebration of literature and the book arts, with workshops, hands-on demonstrations, an open house, a paper sale, author readings and an evening round-table discussion.

It’s a chance to learn a little or a lot about books and publishing, throw in your own two cents’ worth, meet new and established Canadian authors and hear them read from their latest work.

For more information and a schedule of events, visit www.gaspereau.com or phone 678-6002.
