Fictionistas

In response to the growing genre of books aimed at smart, savvy women, we felt a need to provide an alternative to the current ‘chicklit’ trend - and FICTIONISTAS was born!

FICTIONISTAS is a unique reading series for female writers of literary fiction and their readers. Six literary presses have joined forces to form this cosmopolitan collective: NeWest Press, Thistledown Press, Vehicule Press, Turnstone Press, Brindle & Glass, and Coteau Books.

Watch for them stepping out in your town!
