Taddle Creek

01/12/2023

Taddle Creek has said goodbye to its Twitter and Instagram friends, and now it’s time to say goodbye here on Facebook. Of all the social media apps, Taddle Creek had the most fun on this one, especially up until a decade ago, when Facebook's algorithm still showed its posts to people. It’s been a pleasure. Thank you for liking, and goodbye.

There are so few places doing book reviews in Canada anymore that it's especially nice to see one of The Taddle Creek Book in the Literary Review of Canada.

Fiction by Shelley Thompson. Taddle Creek sundries. A cover photographer Q&A. The Cundill History Prize short list. Inside the October issue.

Canadian orders of The Taddle Creek Book are in the mail. U.S. and overseas orders to follow tomorrow.

24/06/2023

Clarification: Taddle Creek's offer of book donation is not a way for you to get a free copy of the book. Books are for sale. Taddle Creek will make a bulk donation to a charity, non-profit, and educational institution. You must be able to pick the books up. Taddle Creek will do no more shipping. First come, first served.

24/06/2023

Taddle Creek is not giving your book away. If you ordered The Taddle Creek Book, it will be in the mail on Monday. Shipping takes times when only one person is doing it.

21/06/2023

Do you run a non-profit, arts organization, or educational something or other? Taddle Creek ended up with about 300 more copies of its book than it wanted, and it doesn't want to store them. If you fall into one of the above categories, some of those books could be yours, no charge. DM for more info.

Thanks to everyone who came out last night for the launch of The Taddle Creek Book. Who knew there’d be a surprise reading by Chris Chambers! Info on where to buy the book in-store coming shortly.

16/06/2023

If you bought a copy of The Taddle Creek Book and want to pick it up, tonight's the night! Jet Fuel Coffee Shop, 7 p.m. (Copies will be on sale as well.)

Apparently it's National Magazine Awards announcement day. (Taddle Creek is so out of the loop.) Congratulations to Jay Stephens, who secured the magazine's 23rd nomination in 23 years of entering, for his 3-D masterpiece "Journey into Fear," from Taddle Creek No. 50, being nominated in the One of a Kind Storytelling category, the place where comics go to die since the foundation got rid of the wonderful Words & Pictures category. Will Taddle Creek double its number of lifetime wins? Find out June 2nd!

Word out of Montreal is the art deco masterpiece Ninth Floor restaurant in the city's Eaton's building is set to reopen. Sarah Gilbert explored the space in 2012.

Unlike its Toronto counterpart, Montreal’s art deco masterpiece still needs a saviour.
