We’re closing the festival with superstar Bonnie Garmus in her only Western Canadian appearance! Her debut Lessons in Chemistry—a tour-de-force of feminist historical fiction—skyrocketed Garmus to global fame and the book into an Emmy-winning Apple TV series. Susin Nielsen (Snap) speaks to Garmus about her much-anticipated follow-up, Peck & Peck. This will be one for the books—and a certain sell-out—so secure your seats at the magnificent Bella Concert Hall now. 

Thanks to Simon & Schuster Canada, we are now able to offer a ticket-only option for Bonnie Garmus’ exclusive Calgary appearance for $40 (plus $7.93 MRU fees).

For those craving the Deluxe Package, which includes a pre-signed copy of Peck & Peck and a special Wordfest button, please choose the Book with Ticket option for $69.95 (plus $11.55 MRU fees).

For ticket only fans, Owl’s Nest Books will have copies of Peck & Peck and Lessons in Chemistry for you to purchase on site.
