Established almost 50 years ago, The Ginger Press has evolved into a literary hub for writers and readers in the Grey-Bruce region. Hosting book signings and launches, workshops, dinners, and discussions, their famous ‘back table’ continues to provide the opportunity for residents and visitors to showcase new ideas, projects, events, and so much more. The Authors’ Open House has become a significant highlight in the cultural calendar where authors showcase recent books, and discuss what’s really happening locally.
Everyone is welcome to attend the Authors’ Open House at The Ginger Press from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Sunday, November 30. There is no charge and parking is free.
