Festival of Literary Diversity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Festival of Literary Diversity is an annual literary festival, which takes place in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.[1] Founded in 2016 by Jael Richardson,[2] the festival serves to promote and publicize literature by writers from underrepresented groups, such as Black Canadians, indigenous Canadians, Asian Canadians, disabled and LGBTQ writers, who are frequently overlooked by mainstream literary festivals.[3]

In addition to the main annual festival, FOLD also sponsors an ongoing reading series, Writers at the Rose, at the city's Rose Theatre.[4]
