Upcoming Events

Below you’ll find information on events both virtual and in-person that I’ll be participating in over the coming months. I’m also available and always happy to do book club visits via Skype or Zoom.

I love doing book events, so if you are interested in having me speak at your literary festival/conference/class, or if you would like to bring me to your local bookstore, please do get in touch.

PLEASE NOTE: I can only do physical public events in spaces that are wheelchair-accessible. Wheelchair-accessible means, at minimum, that an event has wheelchair-accessible entry (no stairs) and easy access to wheelchair-accessible washrooms in the same venue (ie. not across the street). A wheelchair-accessible stage (or no stage at all) is also preferred. Further accessibility measures (captions, ASL, scent-free environments, etc) are welcomed and encouraged.

If you are interested in booking me for an author event, please be sure to read my Access and Inclusion Riders below so as to ensure that your event takes place in a wheelchair-accessible space, and that you are aware of both mine and the audience’s additional access needs. Please note that these are living documents, and access needs and requirements change on an ongoing basis–as such, these riders will be updated from time to time:

Access and Inclusion Rider — Leduc — IN-PERSON

Access and Inclusion Rider — Leduc — VIRTUAL
