In the heart of Vancouver’s International Village, Thai Town Restaurant will be the host of this year’s reception for LiterASIAN. All eight authors, including Leanne Dunic, author of To Love the Coming End, will be present for guests to mingle with, and their books will be available to be bought and signed if desired. Food will be provided with music entertainment and a cash bar is also on site.

This year’s reception will also serve as the book launch of Currents: A Ricepaper Anthology. After completing its first year as a digital magazine, Ricepaper has gathered the best writing it has posted online, and compiled it into a physical anthology. Authors of the pieces in the anthology will be present to perform readings, and copies of Currents will be available for purchase.

The announcement of the Jim Wong-Chu Emerging Writers’ Award recipient will also take place this night.

Tickets to the reception are $10.00 each, and can be purchased here.
