Canadian Authors

The Canadian author sites are listed alphabetically by last name. Fall in love with as many Canadian writers as possible: they are our national treasures.

Purpose: 
Author sites may provide useful background information to the author’s writings and can be used in author studies. Some sites include novel study guides while other sites are blogs. Some authors can also be contacted through their websites for speaking engagements and other class projects. In each case please check specific authors’ sites.

Notice: Links to author sites are provided for convenience only. The links listed take you to other websites and are not associated with Dr. Leah C. Fowler or the University of Lethbridge.
