“In Canada, sales of books by Canadian authors represents less than 15 per cent of total book sales. The average income of writers from writing alone is firmly below the poverty line.” A good reminder that investing in Canadian books & writers is investing in Canada.

There's such a tone of sadness to the CBC reporting right now. Adrienne Arsenault says, “I feel like the whole country, all of us, are getting both a history lesson and a politics lesson and an economics lesson and a lesson in heartache.”

Just a reminder that the crime fiction novels at
reboundpress.com
are not just written in Canada, but are also produced here. When you buy a book from
reboundpress.com
you're not just supporting the CDN authors but the Victoria typesetter, Edmonton graphic designer and Burlington printer.
