A new year is around the corner and we have an exciting line-up for our 2026 Giller Book Club.

For the sixth year in a row, we’ve paired the authors from the 2025 Giller Prize longlist with previous Giller winners, shortlisted and longlisted authors, fellow writers and members of last year’s jury.

During these book clubs, you’ll listen in on one-on-one conversations about how the author’s longlisted book came to fruition, their writing process, where they look for inspiration and much more!

These book clubs are free to attend via Zoom.
Registration is required.

Take a look at the schedule below and don’t forget to add these events to your calendar!
