Northern Rainbow Readers & Writers Event 2025

  

We're so excited to be part of the Northern Rainbow Readers & Writers Event here at the MMRR Blog.  Heather has joined up with a great group of authors and bookish friends to put together this amazing plan for both the 2024 and 2025 Northern Rainbow Readers & Writers Event!

This unique event will bring together published authors and PA's in the queer romance genre for a two day retreat, with the opportunity to write, collaborate, and learn from each other together and separately. VIP readers will then join for a personal weekend experience with their favourite authors. The retreat will also include a fabulous public signing event featuring all participating authors, with dedicated time for VIP readers.

2025 Conference:

Dates: August 20th - 24th

Location: Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel & Conference Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

All events will take place within the same facility. We have a group rate for hotel rooms, discounted parking, and airport shuttles.

We are currently accepting Author Registration, PA & Industry Professionals, VIP Readers & Signing tickets!  

How does the event work?

August 20th and 21st are writing retreat days for authors, aspiring authors and PA's - some people will probably arrive for the afternoon sessions only, but there will be things happening from 9 am onwards, including a sprint room... and that may continue through the evening, depending on what people want. 

August 22nd  is VIP reader day - so reader-focused sessions including author meet ups and a big lunch for everyone. 

August 23rd is signing day - there will be two author sessions which will include a VIP only time and public signing times followed by a reception Saturday evening. 

August 24th is a breakfast event and getaway day.
