We celebrate bold new voices shaping today’s literary landscape.

Independent writers, small presses, and digital-first storytellers are redefining how stories are created, shared, and experienced.

By challenging traditional norms and experimenting with form, voice, and platform, these creators are opening space for more honest, diverse, and boundary-pushing work.

Heart on Paper — Spring 2026

Heart on Paper returns in Spring 2026 as an author reading series devoted to cultivating a community around Canadian romance fiction—where storytelling, place, and emotional truth meet.

Hosted by White Rock-based writer Srishty Dhawan, this second gathering invites audiences deeper into the world of the Passion Unveiled novel series. Through live readings and reflection, Srishty shares the protagonist’s journey of self-discovery and connection, shaped by rain-soaked landscapes, quiet interiors, and the emotional geography of the West Coast.

Designed as a warm and thoughtful space for readers, Heart on Paper II celebrates slow-burn storytelling, lyrical prose, and characters shaped by the places we call home. Whether you’re a longtime romance reader or newly curious, you’re invited to listen, connect, and be part of a growing Canadian literary community.
