The next HEA Canada newsletter will go out on Wednesday. Do you have an event coming up in Romancelandia, Canada? Let me know so I can spread the word! (newsletter signup link in comments)

I often have hours'-worth of event updates to do and, ultimately, I fail to post several because I just run out of time to do it before the event happens :(
Thank you kindly for your time, for your support, and for celebrating Romance writing and reading across Canada!
I take a screenshot every time I see an event notice online. If I'm filling out the listing myself, this can take anywhere from 3 to 10 mins., depending on how much research I have to do to verify the information.

19.09.2025 20:13 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Right now my event pages and newsletter are decent resources, but I long for them to be more reliable and robust. This is a community service, and the way these event notices will work to serve everyone in our community is with community help. I KNOW I am missing event listings.
19.09.2025 20:13 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0My goal is that event hosts (and/or featured guests) always think of HEA Canada for marketing and submit their event listing to my google doc.
This enables me to copy and paste the information in all the places readily and reliably.

27.04.2025 15:00 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I skipped HEA Canada social media stuff for one day last week and yesterday found out that's how I missed the news an author I wanted to meet was at a bookstore in my town last-minute for a signing. I'll be taking 3 weeks off in June/July for vacation and I dunno what I'll do about the FOMO*!
