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, this second gathering invites audiences deeper into the world of local romance writers. Through live readings and reflection, The Host shares the protagonist’s journey of self-discovery and connection, shaped by Canadian 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 Canadian 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.
