Nearly 74,000 entries were recorded from April 12 to 16 at the Quebec City Convention Center, a “significant increase” compared to last year, when we received 70,000 readers.

Success for the Author.e studio
The Author.e Studio – long interviews with well-known writers in front of an audience – attracted more than 2,800 spectators, a success, according to the organization.
Unsurprisingly, it was the discussion with the Canadian writer Margaret Atwood, author of The Scarlet Maid, which sold out. Nearly 800 curious people came to attend the session of the author known for her dystopian works.
Patrick Senecal, Janette Bertrand. Amélie Nothomb, Nancy Huston and Marc Lévy have also attracted many literature lovers.
