carte blanche at Blue Metropolis

We’re pleased to announce not one, but two smashing events at Montreal’s Blue Metropolis Festival that have been brought to you by carte blanche editors. This Really Happened, the brainchild of carte blanche co-founder and nonfiction editor Maria Turner and her co-conspirator Tally Abecassis, hits the stage Saturday evening, April 25, and earlier the same day, carte blanche co-editors Ben Spencer and Laurence Miall have organized a reading session featuring many talents, including Guillaume Morissette, whose debut novel, New Tab, is on the shortlist for this year’s Amazon.ca First Novel Prize.

carte blanche at Blue Met | Saturday, April 25 at 1:00pm – 2:00pm | Festival  bookstore, Hotel 10, Sherbrooke St. West

Meet carte blanche editors and check out some of the great talent we’ve promoted and featured from Montreal, the rest of Canada, and internationally in our 10 years. This is a free event. Check out the Facebook page.
