Kya
Publishing to host 4th annual TORONTO
URBAN BOOK EXPO at Toronto Centre for the Arts - Aug 6, 2017
TORONTO, ONT (June 2017) -
Toronto-based independent publishing company Kya Publishing will be hosting
their 4th annual Toronto Urban Book Expo (TUBE) on Sunday, August 6,
2017 at the Toronto Centre for the Arts’ Studio Theatre, as a part of the Nia
Centre for the Arts’ Blowout Festival.
The book fair, previously held in association with the Toronto Public Library, will
feature published and independent urban writers and their books at a free and
family-friendly event, to the soundtrack of a live DJ (Toronto’s DJ Majesty).
Kya Publishing is
committed to the documentation of urban culture, and the celebration of literature
through their books, research (Journal of
Canadian Urban Fiction), events, and community initiatives (Kya Keys Book Donation Program). The
annual TUBE was established to provide urban authors with exposure, and
networking opportunities—particularly independent/self-published writers.
Approximately 40 writers will have vendor booths to sell their projects and
distribute marketing materials to attendees at Canada’s only event dedicated
exclusively to the promotion of urban literature.
