Event Listing Request Form for HEA Canada Please fill out this form so your event can be quickly and efficiently listed on the website (https://canlitromance.ca/events-in-romancelandia-canada/) and in the newsletter (https://canlitromance.ca/...

The next HEA Canada newsletter will go out on Wednesday. Do you have an event coming up in Romancelandia, Canada? Let me know so I can spread the word! (newsletter signup link in comments)

I often have hours'-worth of event updates to do and, ultimately, I fail to post several because I just run out of time to do it before the event happens :(

Thank you kindly for your time, for your support, and for celebrating Romance writing and reading across Canada!

I take a screenshot every time I see an event notice online. If I'm filling out the listing myself, this can take anywhere from 3 to 10 mins., depending on how much research I have to do to verify the information.

If you could please share the doc link with your followers on any and all platforms -- including your newsletter if you have one, at your writers meetings, etc. -- I would be so incredibly grateful.

Right now my event pages and newsletter are decent resources, but I long for them to be more reliable and robust. This is a community service, and the way these event notices will work to serve everyone in our community is with community help. I KNOW I am missing event listings.

My goal is that event hosts (and/or featured guests) always think of HEA Canada for marketing and submit their event listing to my google doc.

This enables me to copy and paste the information in all the places readily and reliably.
