Founded in 2018, Librissimi - the Toronto Italian Book Festival, aims to showcase selected, recently published works of prose and poetry by Italian Canadian writers. We do so through moderated group
presentations and panels featuring selected writers.

Columbus Centre | 901 Lawrence Avenue West | Toronto
This is a call to submit proposals for presentations at Librissimi based on the following criteria:
A - Works of fiction, non-fiction and poetry written by a Canadian citizen or resident of Italian origin (birth or ancestry).
B - The work must be originally published between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2022.
C - We accept submissions of self-published works provided that an independent editorial process has been followed. Please indicate this in the form.
D - The work submitted can be written in Italian (including dialects), French or English.
The panels are normally conducted mostly in English with some Italian,
although the readings can be in any of the above languages.
Interested publishers are invited to submit works by filling out a separate form for each entry. Maximum two entries per category: fiction, non-fiction and poetry.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Friday, March 17, 2023 (Deadline extended)
PLEASE NOTE: Librissimi is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organization, we regret that we
