Calling all Tellwell authors! The Word on the Street Festival is Canada’s largest celebration of storytelling, drawing over 100,000 book lovers each year to downtown Toronto. This year, the 2025 festival will be held September 27–28 at David Pecaut Square, featuring hundreds of publishers, authors, and literary organizations—and we want your book to be part of the action!
We’re offering showcase-only display spots at the Tellwell booth—perfect for authors who want to get their book in front of readers without attending the event.
