Strange Places

Northern BC Book Tour + dates for Vancouver Island

Posted by Daniela Elza on Jul 11 2025

In August I will be coming up North to launch both SCAR/CITY (MQUP, 2025) and my debut prose/essay/memior book: Is This an Illness or an Accident? (Caitlin Press, 2025).

And then we keep going till we get to the ferry.

When we land on Vancouver Island, we will read in four places, including Tofino, Nanaimo, and Victoria. More info to come as posters come together. But for now you can save the date/s. And it will be great to see you at any of these.
