Announcing the 2025 Giller Book Club Schedule

January 10, 2025

2025 Giller Book Club Schedule

We are delighted to kick off another year celebrating the finest in Canadian literature by launching this year’s Giller Book Clubs. These one-hour virtual events are free to attend. Not able to attend the live conversations? No problem, we’ve got you! The video recordings will be posted on our website and social media channels a day or two following the event.

We have paired authors from the 2024 Giller Prize longlist with other writers and members of last year’s jury. During these book clubs, you’ll listen in as the authors discuss their novel/short story collection, their writing process, what inspires them, and much more! A Q&A period will take place during the last 15 minutes of the conversation so come with your questions!

To sign up, please visit our website and register. We’ll send you a reminder a week before and the day of so you don’t forget.
