Roundtable by the Sea

Roundtable by the Sea brings creative writers, book lovers, and educators to the iconic seaside town of Saint Andrews, New Brunswick, to celebrate all things literary. Attendees will enjoy four days of literary events and conference presentations. The Dunn Theatre at the Fundy Discovery Aquarium will be the primary venue for headlining events, with additional events at other locations in town. Shuttle Service will be available to and from the Dunn Theatre and downtown.

Confirmed featured authors include Elamin Abdelmahmoud, Khalil Akhtar, Donna Jones Alward, Renée Belliveau, Mark Blagrave, Lana Button, Lyse Doucet, Teri Kingston, and Sue Sinclair. Events include onstage conversations between authors, readings and Q&As, book signings, panels, workshops, and more. A three-day book fair will offer attendees the opportunity to connect with independent presses, authors, and other literary- and literacy-focused organizations.

Roundtable by the Sea Literary Festival and Conference is a nonprofit organization that seeks to highlight and celebrate diverse voices and to encourage conversation and reflection on how literature helps build community.
