Happy December!

The holiday season is officially here, and with it comes the joy of giving, gathering, and supporting the community we call home. For us at Canadian Word Warriors, December is one of our favourite times of year, not only because we get to share our stories, but because we get to connect with readers, uplift local causes, and celebrate the power of books.

This weekend, December 6 & 7, you’ll find us at Sobeys West Brant for our annual holiday book table and this year, your purchase makes an even bigger difference.

$1 from every single book sold will be donated to the Brantford Food Bank, an organization working tirelessly to support families right here in our community during a season when the need is greatest.

Shopping local has never mattered more. Every purchase supports real people, real families, and real stories, not algorithms or giant corporate warehouses. When you shop from Brantford authors, you’re helping:

📚 Local writers continue to create
❤️ Local families during the holiday season
🛒 Local stores that support community events
🥫 Local food bank shelves stay stocked

It’s the full circle of community care and we are honoured to be part of it.

Signed Books: The Most Meaningful Gift Under the Tree

While e-books are a fantastic deal, there’s something undeniably magical about gifting a signed physical copy.

A book with the author’s handwritten signature, sometimes even a personal message, becomes a keepsake. A treasure. Something unique in a world full of mass-produced gifts.

This weekend at Sobeys West Brant, you’ll be able to purchase signed books for all ages, including:

✨ Children’s picture books
✨ YA novels
✨ The “What About” series
✨ Mysteries and short stories
✨ The bestselling “Night’s Vampire” series
✨ Local history and inspirational works

If you can’t make it in person, you can still order signed copies directly from the authors. Just send us a message via email or through writerontherun.ca and we’ll get your books wrapped, signed, and ready for gifting.

Shop Small, Support Local, Strengthen Your Community

When you choose local businesses, small creators, and community initiatives, you’re helping to keep creativity and entrepreneurship alive in Brantford. You’re supporting your neighbours.

Local businesses.
Local artists.
Local authors.
Local initiatives.

That’s the true heart of the holidays.

We truly hope to see you this weekend at Sobeys West Brant, December 6 & 7, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Stop by, say hello, browse the books, and help us support a cause that matters deeply to our community.

And don’t forget! The 99¢ e-book sale ends December 8, so grab your favourites before they’re gone!
