Broadening The Scope In Toronto

The organizers of Toronto’s International Festival of Authors are aiming for a broader appeal than it may have had in years past. “In the six years since taking over from founder Greg Gatenby, [Geoffrey] Taylor has routinely added new wrinkles to an event that formerly served as the exclusive domain of writers of so-called literary fiction. The doors have been flung open to non-fiction authors, graphic novelists, poets, genre writers and the like.”
