2 seats are vacant!

📚 Who are we ?

The EDLD seeks to amplify voices, highlighting the experiences of writers, readers, and mediators of different backgrounds who share a passion for words and a sense of urgency for rethinking the relationship with the other. Its mandate as a space for reflection and for the sharing of ideas is to redefine the meaning of the word Togetherness by combating racism and exclusion through books.

🌎 Representation

The EDLD is an organization that was founded to combat racism and all forms of inequity and discrimination. The EDLD was created to actively counter the systemic under-representation of persons identifying with marginalized groups, minority groups, racialized communities and also persons with disabilities in the cultural milieu, especially the book milieu.

If you are a member of one of these groups, you are welcome! We’re expecting you!
