Rahela Nayebzadah chosen for Writers' Trust of Canada Amplified Voices Campaign

Congratulations to Rahela Nayebzadah and her novel Monster Child for being selected for the Writers’ Trust of Canada’s Amplified Voices campaign!

WT Amplified Voices is a collective marketing campaign to promote books published during the COVID-19 pandemic by Canadian authors who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Colour. The goal is to give those authors who missed out on in-person book launches, the festival circuit, and bookstore foot traffic another opportunity to be discovered by readers. WT Amplified Voices is made possible in part by the Government of Canada.

Meet the twenty-five authors below who were selected for the first iteration of the program by an independent, five-person committee representing the literary community from coast to coast to coast. We hope you enjoy discovering these great reads by Canadian BIPOC authors. For more details, please visit the program page.
